So it shows just how useless these forms are.Norfolk Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04237390959601973501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870143465614132758.post-9998288480946103952007-06-23T10:51:00.000-07:002007-06-23T10:51:00.000-07:00Very funny, that cherry picker story, Peter!Very funny, that cherry picker story, Peter!Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00525444717679391831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870143465614132758.post-69062922869143590112007-06-23T10:43:00.000-07:002007-06-23T10:43:00.000-07:00If the Health and Safety Agency can make strapping...If the Health and Safety Agency can make strapping youself to a jet engine surrounded by Meccano and lighting the blue touch paper safe, they are better men than we are, Gunga Din.<br><br>I some times think we need a Court of Common Sense, chaired by a Man or Woman Who Knows. And when a responsible adult in full posession of his faculties does the above (jet, meccano, etc) or something like it for the Sunday night edification of us all and it goes wrong, the HSE should appear before the Court of Commons Sense - no expensive barristers - and be told their suggested investigation is contra Common Sense. No appeal or judicial review will be possible. <br><br>The HSE were recently lecturing a bunch of boat captains about how to make their boats safer. Now, you do not meet many lax skippers because they are usually dead. HSE told square rigger captain that going up the rigging was unsafe, and they must use a cherry picker driven by fully qualified driver. 'All the time?' asks our Ahab<br>'All the time,' replies FSE B.F.<br>'where am I going to find one of those when I want to reef a sail in mid Atlantic?' Asks skipper. Wasn't in the HSE's notes. <br><br>While I wouldn't wish Mr Hammond any ill, one good side effect of his pile up is that our Yorkshire Air Ambulance has some cash now, whereas before it couldn't afford to take off.Peter Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03850862887931603954noreply@blogger.com
