As the summer season approaches full pelt, what could be more traditional than a trip to the seaside, a walk along the pier and a jolly time on the dodgem cars?
Sadly the latter pastime may soon be but a passing memory, if the health and safety Gestapo have their way.
The Butlin resorts (which first introduced dodgems into the UK) in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness have now introduced rules that ban anyone bumping into each other on the dodgem ride (despite the fact that the cars are designed specifically to bump into each other).
Customers have been told to drive slowly in circles!

I trust drivers and passengers will be also wearing hi-vis vests for their protection.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that they don't issue a helmet, goggles, arm guards and shin guards, oh, and a bubblewrap suit to the riders of the cars.....It seems to be that the elf'n'safety gestapo can't stand people enjoying themselves and want everyones life to be as dull as theirs.
ReplyDeleteWith the way our nations going with 'elf'n'safety and its risk averse culture, breathing will be the most exciting thing people are allowed to do.
"...breathing will be the most exciting thing people are allowed to do".
ReplyDeleteProvided they have paid their exhalation tax, of course.

Given that our air is so dirty that 40,000 die every year from the effects of air pollution, I'm surprised that Hi-Vis gas-masks haven't been made compulsory.
What a load of pathetic nonsense!

Don't give them ideas! Of course, Nanny's jobsworths are more likely to adapt this suggestion, than actually take measures to reduce the amount of air pollution, naturally, as the former would give them more excuse to lord it over the plebs er, sorry, taxpayers, whilst doing something positive about the problem would involve spending money.

Nanny's 'Elf n Safety Gestapo's can't even agree on their reasons for banning things.

Does this mean that Scottish slopes are more dangerous than English ones?
This is pathetic. About 30 years ago I used to cut some of the grass banks in Fife. The procedure was simple. One guy walks behind the mower guiding it; the other stands at the top of the banking holding the mower on the end of a rope to stop it toppling over. Easy...Problem solved!
ReplyDeleteuhh, er, what was the colloquial term often on the billboards? Bumper Cars?
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has a permanent facial scar from a dodgem accident in the 1980s... I would always wear a seatbelt before I rode one... But it would not stop me bumping!
