Shocked from a tranformer

Talking of H&S... I think it was year before last, somewhere in UK, a city council decided after nearly a century (apart from wartime), it would no longer install Annual Christmas Illuminations.... because of "Health and Safety"

It's just a load of rubbish, the council want to save money - claiming H&S issues is just an excuse.

Sky's own installers claim they can't go in roof spaces to feed cables through, saying it's an H&S issue - in reality, it's because they don't want claims for ceiling damage which their insurers wouldn't cover.

I've done an H&S course this year, still waiting for my certificate to arrive, but almost everything you hear about it is totally untrue.

There should be a law against making excuses like that.

Reminds me of the infamous case where a burglar was awarded a few hundred thousand because a roof tile dislodged and made him fall from the roof of the house of which he was trying to climb into an upper floor window. Not sure how true that actually is, but I heard a rumour

I don't know about impossible. Was that a confession by the way?
