Chaps I think you're in violent agreement about some points in your arguments and aren't we a long way from an amusing sticker on a square?

What offends me more than anything else about H and S an PC is the way that the perpetrators insult my intelligence.
My local sweet shop has a notice beneath a self service tray for chocolate covered Brazil nuts as follows.
WARNING! THESE BRAZILS MAY CONTAIN NUTS!
Which also indicates to a pedant like myself that they might not!

BMac - cracking idea that!
Absolutely brilliant and I approve most whole heartedly.
Bit of a naff way for the doc and nurse to spend Christmas, looking after a bunch of hapless drunks, I hope they got a decent share of the overnight tarriff. :wink:
Ironballs - point.
Digit - not only that - but you'd complain if there weren't!

Bigshot, the tent was open for the whole Christmas 'season' so, whenever your works' party etc, you had a place to crash out with medical supervision - and, you got to pay for it. I thought it was a super idea.

Talking of H&S, SWMBO won this cake in the raffle in our village WI Xmas fair and she offered it to the local old peoples home.
They said that for H&S reasons they couldn't accept it unless it had been shop bought! We know who made it, and it will be a terrific cake. If it had been imported from China and been a tasteless monstrosity bought from Asda that would have been OK. So we told them that we would just have to poison our friends and family with it.

I think the vast majority of the "health and safety" gone mad incidents are caused by people who DON'T know about health and safety, and conform to what they wrongly IMAGINE health and safety is.
The HSE is quite realistic and sensible, but not very entertaining.
Now back to stories about schools banning conker fights without safety goggles.

The Instutute of Occupational Safety & Health have sponsored the world Conker championships for a number of years to try to kill this daft Myth
But of course the press are not interested in reporting that.

I have to say that if I want to go out and get off my face (for whatever reason) then I will - regardless of whether the pub/club/whatever is open all day, all night, or just for the evening. It doesn't make the blindest bit of difference to the drink culture at all. When I was younger (at 40 I still consider myself young ) we used to quite happily drink to excess without 24hr licensing - now I can take my time about it rather than having to rush drinks down.
What was good about the 24hr licensing was when my lad was born - I got home at lord only knows what time from the hospital and promptly went and had a beer with some mates. Didn't have many (perhaps only as little as 3 pints) but I would have had to wait until the next day in the old days.
24hr licensing has made a massive difference in the towns and cities I've been in. Come 11pm and 2AM I can still move around without constantly watching out for the mass of people getting kicked out of clubs and bars.

It's not HS & E that concerns them. It's the thought of being sued by some lacklustre fly-by-night money-grabbing shyster No-Win-No-Fee-No-Morals toe rag of a solicitor and for that you can thank DuffGov and their Access to Justice Act 1999.
