    Typical, triping over their own stupid laws

    The workers were following the stringent new fire code enacted after a nightclub blaze in Rhode Island nearly three years ago killed 100 people.

    Given a choice between saving lives and a feckin' christmas tree, I know which I'd be plumping for...

    ...and to whoever mentioned about helath and safety getting as bad as the US; it's already a LOT worse here...take that from someone who's worked in the trades botht there and here.

    Wasn't the Great White Fire in Rhode Island? Where hundreds of people were killed at a concert?

    I'm not entirely sure that the Great White fire was related to Christmas trees. Or any form of vegetation for that matter.

    No, it was a pyrotechnics display that was too big for the room.

    It does however make the legaslative reaction understandable.
