Chinese Lanterns Banned at The Bash
Just had a text from the BongoMeister, Lickhill have banned the use of Chinese lanterns this year following a barn fire.

They have also fallen on electricity substations, where their wire frames have caused a flash-over and interuption to the electricity supply to thousands of electricity users.

The wire frames also get eaten by Cows and Sheep etc.

Its such a shame that the Health & Safety Brigade have so much clout these days.
I may well stay in bed for the next 50 years, just to be on the safe side.

Unfortunately these days..Health and safety has moved away from common sense and experience into where there's blame...there could be a claim....so it is a case of cover your a**e in the event of anything that could go wrong and could it have been prevented...?mister munkey wrote:Its such a shame that the Health & Safety Brigade have so much clout these days.

I won't have a rant about if H&S had been around when I was a kid but most people here will know what i mean...

Careful there Mister Munkey, statistically more people die in bed than any where else. That doesn't sound a very safe place to me
