there has been many accidents where there has been loss of life because basic health and safety precautions was not taken and quite a few of them to do with boats and water

my friend

German and Dutch contractors working in Ireland are both shocked and laughing at our British inspired Health and Safety Laws

Dan Jaman

Ah, the marina shop would have wanted paid for the jackets and billed the ambulance service for much more.

Lapin

Should have taken a leaf out of jockey Danny Mullins book !

A marina birth.. Jesus Joe, the midwife is gonna go out there without a life jacket either..

Could get hit by a meteorite; you never know - which is why it's as well to wear a tin helmet at all times.

2 ambulances and 2 fire brigades to save 1 woman

SEPT 23 1989

2 ambulances and two fire engines

are they driving around looking for things to do?

my friend

Sept 11th 2001 almost 400 fire fighters lost their lives in NYC

In Ireland, none of them would have died

I guess thats the argument the Heath and Safety ppl would present

Harry Angstrom

She sounds like she's reading from a script.

europa11

She said the woman was dying.......then that she survived.

Oh well! There goes Joe's interest out the window.

Lapin
