(Uk) article on itv news (meridian) tonight

alexwil

there's going to be an item on itv news meridian tonight at 6. 

Something about a boy who swallowed a piece of Lego but didn't choke due to the hole in the piece (looks like it was a round cone). 

From the 10 seconds I saw can only assume it's going to be a fairly positive piece.

I wonder, will he grow up to regret the operation and scarring he may have suffered or the fact that his childhood LEGO has teeth marks in it?

Who wants to bet somebody is already speeding to eBay to advertise "Brick Separators" for £10 each!!

Anybody else notice that a great umber of the parts they show in the video are Mega Garbage Blocs?

Playing with Lego rule number one - Don't eat it.

I have a 2 year old son and even he knows this. Can't seem to stop him pulling all of the hats and hair off minifigs though.

My daughter is the same. First thing she does when picking up any minifig or minidoll.
Lately there's been a bit more swapping than just removing

The article also claime that he was trying to separate two parts, one of which was obviously a 1x1 cone. I've never known that part to have that much grip, let alone anywhere to bite it- I'm not sure the story adds up...

Pole / rod inserted maybe?

It's a clone brand - lime 1x1 cones don't exist.
