Just a quick one on the subject of safety. Click on the link below to go to The Register and have a look at their article on workplace safety. I have included a choice quote below. Does this sound like any of the HSE people you have come across? Go over there and read the rest of the article.

Let me be plain. You suspect that your average safety professional - a person, perhaps, such as myself - is the grown-up version of the little Mummy’s girl or boy who was too scared to go on the big slide at the recreation ground. You suspect that she or he was in the habit of calling over her or his aforementioned parent to get it everybody else thrown off the slide, and thus was able to spoil playtime for everybody, under the deliciously non-reproachable cover of Doing The Right Thing.

Incidentally the ancient pastime of cheese rolling has been banned in the UK due to safety concerns.This despite the fact that it has been going on for over a hundred years.
