The boiler in the little kitchenette where we make our tea/coffee at work has packed up. They've provided us with a kettle instead. Don't these mad fools realise what they've done? There will be scalding incidents all over the place before you can say "Two sugars for me please".

Somebody contact 'elf and safety before a small child is scarred for life!

Don't joke.

I once installed one of those wall mounted water boiler things in a kitchen in a clients office. Their Health & Safety womble decided it was dangerous! So I had to write a risk assessment and method statement for the people using it!

Bring back the kettle!

Heard today - someone saw a supermarket trolley in the river and rang the Council. Council said they couldn't move it as they didn't have anybody properly trained in the use of wellingtons...
