Re: Only in England.......
It's a pity a few silly people bring discredit on Health and Safety issues .
There is the myth of the conkers-with-goggles story .
A head teacher in Carlisle was weary on spending hours on health and safety issues . He said that it was largely due to the Thatcher and Major administrations that the health and safety culture was brought to bear in schools .
In Oct 2004 he tongue-in-cheek alerted the media to his conkers-with-goggles hoax , never dreaming that it would eventually go global .
Even Mr Cameron fell for it in Dec last year when he quoted the "incident" in a speech .
