I'm reasonably certain that UK law includes an "any other device" blanket ban on anything that is, can or even might be used as an offensive weapon, which includes a hammer.
I think that blanket ban is only invoked in court once you've used something not on the main list as an offensive weapon. People have been prosecuted for using their cars as an offensive weapon, and I seem to recall someone being done for using crutches or a walking stick on the same grounds; and of course, this is why I personally have to be careful how I use my devastating wit in a public place. I mean, my bruises will heal in a few weeks, but the psychological and emotional scars I can inflict with a few well chosen words can do irreparable damage that lasts a lifetime.

It appears we are going to have to confiscate and destroy that wit then, or at least the half of it you've demonstrated possessing so far. You are not permitted to have such a dangerous weapon in your possession because you might hurt someone's feelings with it. Therefore you shall report for prefrontal lobotomy tomorrow at 9 a.m. sharp.

Not really that hard. Just get a long, thin, sharp probe and a small hammer and drive the spike upwards from the part of the eye socket nearest the nose through the sinuses and into the frontal cortex and then wiggle the probe about a bit. Bingo! All your troubles vanish.

If I wasn't likely to die doing that, I might just give it a go...

Go ahead and do it. You see, when you do it you won't care if you die and probably won't even notice if you do. That's the beauty of it.

Hey, it had to be said.
Applied vigorously it's pretty much the same thing...if your liver outlives your brain.
And it doesn't require either a doctor or a prescription, which is probably why it's so popular.
