Saintsman,
Your statement reminds me of something that happened to me whilst in the day job. Apologies to all for the thread drift here.
I worked for a rather large oil operator and, one day, we had a meet and greet from the European head of safety. After the usual greetings he asked if I had any particular safety worries.
Since I never knew when to shut up, I said I had.
What are they? he asked.
We're giving people too many rules and regulations and I'm worried that they're stopping thinking for themselves.
I then got an earful of the company line on heath and safety, and how people needed to be told what was safe and what was not.
Here's where my glittering career almost hit the buffers. OK, I said. When I go home tonight I'll take a look at my wife's cooker whilst she's burning dinner. If it doesn't have a notice saying
'Keep your head out whilst this is on', can I stick my head in there?
Manager looks at me, mumbles a very strong Dutch oath and passes on......
Luckily, he couldn't see my name badge, and I suspect he did actually have a sense of humour.
