On the way into the the stadium, security guards were checking all the youths and adults for knives, given the dramatic increase in knifings and knife murders in London. The twins though, looking small and angelic, were not checked, which was a stroke of luck as Max had taped their mum’s toasting fork to Mark’s back, along his spine.

Max had thought of that and decided that it would have been OK because had Mark been caught, they would have said that Tony had stuck it there and forced them to keep quiet. But the guards didn’t spot it anyway.
