Ok Seriously, What is up with health and saftey laws in the UK? It's become completely rediculous, I went to go buy some shelving today and the guy there said "Oh no, we don't cut here, health and safety". I called two other places and they said the same thing. Since when do timber companies not cut timber. Are they afraid of cutting themselves? I mean wha? I was speechless. Ok your saying big saws, danger, possibilitiy of severed limbs, ok fine. But It just reminds me that I was fined by the Edinburgh counsel for having a welcome matt in front of my flat door, because it constituted a tripping hazard and violated the health and safety laws! Oh my F'ing christ! Are you kidding me? They have warning signs in Waitrose about always putting your grapes in a plastic bag because "Loose grapes can be a dangerous tripping hazard". I know I'm not the only one that notices this. Have people become that lame that they cant just toughen up and get on with shit? Just be careful when your doing stuff, even then your going to mess it up and hurt yourself sometimes, deal with it! The list of health and safety rules goes on into infinity, It's comical. Thank god there's no health and safety laws pertaining to Polo, I'd be screwed.
