The Dangers of Sandwiches

Cat SarnieCongrats to First Great Western Rail (FGWR) for openly admitting that train food is possibly not very good for you.

Chris Haynes, a passenger on said train company, was looking for something to do whilst whiling away his time during the breakdown of the train he was "travelling" on. FGWR had announced that the passengers could have a free soft drink, to compensate them for the delay.

Fair enough!

Mr Haynes ambled along to the buffet car, and decided to order an egg mayonnaise sarnie as well.

Can you guess what happened next loyal readers?

Yes, that's right, the "steward" refused to sell him the sarnie.

For why?

Health and safety!

LOL!

I knew that train sarnies were dodgy, but I never thought they were that dodgy!

Seemingly, and at this point I am choking on my morning vodka shot, the "steward" was of the view that the sarnie would cause Mr Haynes to choke if the train had to be evacuated in an emergency.

ROFLOL!!!!

This is surely the best excuse for not being bothered to do one's job ever!

  1. Given that you could cancel third world debt for the price they charge for the most basic, thinly filled, unappetising looking butties, Mr Haynes should be thanking the steward for saving him from an expensive, disappointing experience (I mean the sandwich - travelling on WorstGroup's trains is another matter).

    "This country has gone farking mad!"

    Ken, that just about sums up the UK .

    EVERYTHING is done according to a sliding scale of 'MEMEME'.

    That is, how much is it going to cost me to do something for you? No matter that it's my job, or even that I have a statutory duty of care.

    And that's before we add petty jackboot/narcissistic/psychopathic power trip personalities into the mix.

    De facto, we are living in a state of anarchy.

    "De facto, we are living in a state of anarchy."

    I thought that one of the Anarchist's best arguments would be that Governments would make fewer mistakes if they did not exist. One thing this country is not lacking is Government. There is just too much of it. You may question its sanity but not, surely, its existamce.

    Once again, an unsophisticated, uneducated busybody, in a uniform, making decisions way beyond their competence......This type of pillock must have thought all his birthdays had come at once when we went, amongst other things, 'elf'n'safety crazy.

    Enjoy making new ad hoc 'elf'n'safety rules responsibly.

    What, pray, is the nature of the supposed "emergency"? The train is stationary (probably without power) - what is it going to do?

    How about if it was travelling at over 100mph when he was eating, and then de-railed after hitting a lump of concrete dumped on the track by some bored teenager?

    Why have a buffet car at all.....

    Probably what it does after stopping at a station - smoothly accelerate up to speed. Do they not sell sandwiches to passengers who have just boarded until the train has reached cruising speed?

    Every time I hear " 'elinsafety" my blood pressure goes through the roof.

    I believe this is the part that most people do not get.

    It's a shell game. The 'government' is a shell game.

    The 'government' is full of individuals doing 'MEMEME' = individuals only acting in concert in order to maintain their own power bases.

    The 'government' has set up a vast web of many contradictory rules/regulations/laws/directives/quangos largely because, knowing themselves, they know that the rest of us individuals cannot be trusted to behave in community interests (plus, these individuals are not leaders. They are at best managers).

    Thus the 'government' has given licence to all and sundry incompetents to wage war on innocents as and when they power-trippingly see fit.

    It's cheaper, quicker and easier that way to control people - which is essentially a management function, not a leadership position.

    (something along those lines - haven't finessed these points yet.)

    Mine too! What about hot drinks? I should have thought these posed far greater health and safety risks, made as they are with boiling water: and trying to consume one when the train is moving, without most of the drink ending up over oneself, is quite a challenge! Your correspondants are right, this country has gone mad!
