RubyTex 1,957 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Why the hell do we need a warning when it's a bit hot? First of all it's the middle of fecking July!!! Second of all take on plenty of fluids, sun cream and shade and you will be fine. Sadly common sense is lacking and people go out without a drink, no cream on and sit on the beach all day then wonder why they have a massive headache, feel lethargic and are burnt to f**k. When they rock up at hospital they should be left to suffer and given a dig in the ribs for good measure the retards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3175darren 1,102 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) The problem is they took away the option, to say to people {Daft C***t serves you right, be more careful next time} or the old saying serves you right stick your fingers in the fire and you will get them burnt,it is not PC anymore,so where as 30 yr ago we were responsible for our own actions,and took responsibility for them and there consequences,now that is not acceptable, to have a person be blamed for there own stupidity, and to call them stupid or clumsy would probably be called bullying,the whole thing is wrong how can we put things in place for every eventuality that can happen,if you said ok we recognise the trip hazard, and in order to reduce it, we will trap the moles all hell would brake loose with the townies,what we going to do next, give out free pit helmets in every coastal town, or ones affected by seagulls,cos they are a real hazard that has escaped control, :hunter:like bloody japanese dive bombers,and have you ever noticed that most of the health and safety men you ever meet are some of the most impractical people you will ever meet, Edited July 18, 2013 by 3175darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be the same folk who complain all the rains down to global warming. We get normal weather and they still moan. Sad to say but some folk like moaning even about others moaning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,791 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Was talking to a warden of the wildlife trust yesterday and he said they even had to warn people about not tripping over mole hills, branches etc: they have to cover themselves in case they get sued! Bloody ridiculous world we live in I used to work offshore in the North Sea. I kid you not they banned knifes on the rig, the HSE guy came round to each department and tool away all knifes and sharp pointy things. If you needed a knife you would have to go to the radio room and sign out a cutting tool. Anotehr occasion a guy was spotted cutting a bread bun with a bread knife and as you do he was cutting towards himself (its just a bread knife!) unfortunately he was spotted by the rig supervisor who went ballistic, next thing we heard was a tannoy saying that if this ever happened again he would confiscate all the knives in the galley I had to get away from working in teh North Sea it was just full of idiots always making stupid jobs up for people. I then went to Algeria where is was common place for people to fall out of derrecks or kill themselves in other interesting ways...a breath of fresh air Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,293 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Its in the interest of the powers that be to keep us all in a state of panic. Stops us worrying to much about what they are upto Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite how people would cross on the stairs if everyone was holding both rails I don't know....and what if someone had one arm? banned from using stairs??? pathetic! Someone else was walking down some steps in the car park, fell down them and broke her arm....got awarded £10k compensation They are steps, if you're gormless you will fall down them, I can't get my head around how that deserves compensation! they weren't slippy or loose or anything, she just fell over her own feet! Can't stand anything to do with health and safety, and anyone who's job involves health and safety is usually a proper fannyish jobsworth who's childhood dream was to become a traffic warden. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the paragraph in blue is the reason they need to give the bollocks that they gave you in the paragraph in red these days, like that WPC who put a claim in to a garage for tripping over a kerb.. I like the French version of health and safety - If you have an accident, tough shit it's your fault.. Nothing ever happens by accident in this country these days, there's always someone to blame when things go wrong. The idea of being responsible for your own safety, health and well-being is long dead.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 The flip side is that people will see it on the news and think this could be good year to visit Britain, could bring in some good tourist money from the continent ! Keep a few people here spending their well earned too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
