Somepitch,
Well said
The 'British Outlook' pervades all aspects of British society - especially the workplace. As a nation we are so risk averse, paranoid, willing to be ruled, threatened, regulated, overtaxed and generally ordered obout that we are conditioned to condemn and generally flap about over any practice that mildy offends us. So many times I come across the attitude that "there ought to be a law against it - and if there isnt we'll make one up anyway". It rears its ugly head on PPRuNE regularly.
Rant over.
