From a news item:
"LONDON - Police foiled an attempt Monday to steal gold bullion worth
$70 million and cash from a warehouse at Heathrow Airport, London's
Metropolitan Police said. A gang smashed through the shutters of the
Swissport Cargo warehouse in a white van before threatening staff with
knives, cudgels and at least one firearm."
Where does the modern-day smash-and-grabber get a cudgel these days?
Are there cudgel shops in England? "Excellent choice, Sir. That's
our model A-stroke-47, made of the finest blackthorn available and
hand-rubbed to a fine luster. You'll not find a skull that will dent
this little beauty, Sir. It's said that James Hind carried a
cudgel of these exact specifications."
