If sign makers go on strike, is there anything written on their picket signs? Posts: 835 | From: Wooster, OH, USA | Registered: Jul 1999

Hi Dana, Here in the U.K. the health and safety regulations have gone way overboard in the last few years, I can remember when you could simply climb a ladder to fix a sign in place, not any more, health and safety issues don't allow that now !! you need a scaffold, safety helmet, harness,3 operatives, hazzard cones and a hell of a sense of humour !! ha ha !!

No one needs any common sense anymore. The government is going to protect us from everything.
The real instigator of the problem lies within the article.
quote: "The problem is that nowadays people are litigious. If it's on land that belongs to the local authority, they would be held responsible so they have got to look at health and safety."
And who made people litigious? Lawyers!
Too darn many of them so they keep encouraging people to sue for any frivolous reason. The lawyers complain about always being bashed. Gee, who brought it on themselves?

Here's an good example of what lawyers are doing. Thank goodness the judge had some common sense.
From Fox News June 4, 2009
quote: A woman in California tried to sue Captain Crunch because she believed the “crunchberries” were real fruit! Janine Sugawara said she was disappointed to find out that the berries were in fact simply brightly colored cereal balls. She said the company misled her by using the word berries and so did the front of the box. A judge threw the case out.
