FFS.

My mum works in a library, she's not even allowed to change a frickin' light bulb because of H&S. We should go like the French, they don't even have a H&S Executive.

£900 for a Xmas tree? Is it installed by Rachel Riley, going up a ladder in a short skirt or something? :shock:

Now that would be worth £900


	Quote: To get around health and safety concerns, the final decoration — a star — was put on top by Sir Nicholas Macpherson, the most senior civil servant at the Treasury. He had to stand on a chair because no ladder could be provided.

Was he not qualified to use a ladder?
