Did you say you were studying law blazey, not surprised then, £300, 000 for slipping on a grape, what a load of rot. Whats to stop some one from throwing a grape on the floor and then slipping on it on purpose, and no doubt getting you to take it to court, for a nice fee of course. the worlds gone made, it want be long before we have ambulance chasers in this country as well
