Indeed,
jake, I'm with you on this one - let's bring back the old days. ;o)
After all,
Abdul, 'Elf an' Safety never existed before 1997 did it? It is a totally new addition by this Labour Government.
Back in the good old days, we would be made to go up a 15' ladder with a screwdriver and forced to poke around in the electrics for merely mentioning that the ceiling light above your office desk seemed a bit dim. Electric knowledge? Ladder training? No, it was a P45 if you didn't.
Still, this Elf & Whatever, is obviously just about a controlling Labour Government, and not about the safety of employees / members of the public in the work / public place, is it?
Any suggestion that it may be companies / institutions / public services etc. reacting to incidents such as
this,
this, or
this are also totally unfounded.
