The Nhs And The Law Of The Inane Converse
7 Answers
A law so formulated by the excellent Simon Hoggart, which states that, 'if the converse of an announcement is inane, the announcement is superfluous', an example he gives is; "See if you can break your leg between the train and the platform and spend a month on crutches" or "If you see a suspicious looking bag, try opening it to see if it explodes"
The NHS website announces that in hot weather people should drink plenty of water & stay in the shade. !

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.the thing is that these kind of "announcements" ARE needed - people are stupid. A young lad in my work got heat exhaustion TWICE over the last hot spell we had, which necessitated contact with the NHS.
At the other end of the scale one of the old boys in my team got heat exhaustion in our office a couple of years ago - on the hottest day of the year he wore long sleeves and a ties and went for his usual constitutional walk in the full sun at 1pm for an hour. These announcements are tailor made for people like those two (and even then, clearly they dont listen!)
