Picnic Trippers

[catswhiskas]

I have just read, that at Gosforth Park Racecourse, people will not be allowed to have picnics any more in case other people trip over them, health and safety gone mad !

[ummmm]

Where did you read that?

this made me chuckle ,visions of people with cheeses and ham caught in their hats and speared on high heels lol

Simple answer - don't attend and they'll rethink.

Of course, it's got nothing to do with encouraging people to buy their snacks at the course's own catering facilities, has it?

Is it April 1st already?

[MargoTester]

Surely it's just a way of making you buy their food

[Mamyalynne]

Even the HSE are fed up with it-

Yet again H&S get lumbered with what is really the result of the Blame-and-Claim No-Win-No-Fee Brigade.

H&S is a very good thing.

Blame and Claim is divisive and destructive.
