Firefighters: Banned from climbing ladders

[Jamesy]

Americanisms are dreadful, they should be kept in that country so that we can have a enjoyable life again. Another thing which I find stupid is bacteria killers like detol that kill 99.9% of all germs... Don't people realise that getting ill from most of those germs builds up your immune system?! Kids are healthier, true, but when they are older they're going to seriously get ill when they forget to use their precious Dettol. When I was little, people only got slightly ill, a sniffle there etc, now you see children who have to stay at home because they're burning up, all because of their crappy immune system which has Dettol etc to blame.

ANYWAY, back on topic about Health and Safety...

Did you know you can't cook your own biscuits and cakes for college/school charity events? They have to be strictly from a super market/baker.

Ha! I'm very luck to go to what I think are one of the most anti government ******** high-schools, and middle school a while ago too. We had conkers matches organised by the teachers! it is ********. Instead of teaching us about health ans safety why don't they le us get some god damned experience in school learning life skills? Sure algerbra is all fun and good :rolleyes:, but learning to cook is kind of important for like... you whole life? Again back on tpic (bad at this aren't we?) it is stupid. Said it many times, those firefighters should give them the finger and do there jobs like they volunteered to. Soon we ar going to lose all passion we have in this coutry (what little is left) and become another greyed out little boresville like I don't know where.

Rue brittania, britannia... oh crap, I'm sorry. I'm now sued because of a terrorist's human rights to not like that song. :rolleyes:

The Health and Safety crap (Political Correctness) isn't from the US, it comes from morons in our government and the lovely EU.

On a different but slightly related note, my sister was told to eat nuts during her pregnancy. At first, they believed eating nuts caused an allergy to the baby in later life but they've now found that if you eat nuts then your baby will build a resistance to the allergies. Thus there's been an increase in children with peanut allergies.

At our last sports day we weren't allowed sack races because of health and safety. We ended up using bin liners anyway. Good old lazy attitude techers, eh?

It is strongly related to Amercans even if it didn't come from there. What other country sues someone else for something very trivial?! Is being P.C. actually realted to Health and Safety? Because I didn't know you're health and safety is down to being politically correct?

Health and safety is stupid, if they've disallowed students to do a sack race... Wouldn't bin liners be crap? You'll tear them easily "/

Ha yeah, by the end people could just run because their feet ripped through.

[lAdmire]

That's dumb. Suppose there is someone trapped on the roof of a burning building? Suppose it's not possible for them to jump unless a ladder is used? Some laws countries come up with are so stupid. I wonder who came up with this one. In order for a firefighter to do their job effectively, a ladder is definitely needed. Imagine how many people will die because of a dumb law like this.

Cats better watch out, if they get stuck in a tree, there doomed!

[stratosphere]

This is worse crap than what I do in the toilet.

[DeejayMachoo$]

what if they need to get a cat off a tree?
