As per Get Wokingham:
"The annual Have a Safe Christmas roadshow returns with a series of events across the borough.This is all very well intentioned, I am sure.
The event, run by Wokingham Borough Council, offers people the chance to meet emergency services, trading standards and the community safety team to find out how to stay safe over the festive period.
Roadshows take place at:
In ASDA, in Chalfont Way, Lower Earley, on Thursday, November 29, from 10am to 1pm.
In Tesco, in Finchampstead Road, Wokingham, on Friday, November 30, from 10am to 1pm.
In Sainsbury’s, in King Street Lane, Winnersh, on Wednesday, December 5, from 10am to 1pm.
Trading standards officers will provide information about counterfeit goods and rogue traders.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service will have information about candle safety and checking Christmas lights."
However, do people not already know that candles can, if improperly positioned etc, present a fire hazard?
Do people not realise that a cheap gift from a dodgy trader may well not be safe? etc etc.

ReplyDeleteI may go, and keeping a straight face and putting on my best anorak voice, ask:
"After I have cooked the turkey, do you think I should put on a hi-viz jacker to transfer the said turkey from the oven to the dining table, so that my guests can clearly see me with the hot turkey?"
or:
"When I decide to light the brandy on the Christmas pudding, should I have the Fire and Rescue Service on standby just in case the fire from the desert spoon of brandy gets out of control?"
What winds me up more is that I am paying for this roadshow via my council tax......Grrrrrrrr
In the spirit of inclusivity I intend to invite the guys, gals and transgendered of Wokinghams community safety team home to spend Xmas Day with me. We could start with a bit of CofE Religion, smoking indoors, drinking too much, giving the kids innapropriate presents, eating evil food, doing zero exercise and telling mildly racist jokes before collapsing while watching Her Majesty on telly.
