Arms Bands Removed
I thought I'd share this little nugget with you all - a situation where common sense goes out the window.
Hartham Pool - they used to offer armbands for kiddies in the learners pool. When my wife asked where they had gone today, she was informed they had been removed, for health and safety!
When pressured for a more detailed response... they are dangerous because they (the armbands) may get punctured and the child could drown!

...and the parents would then sue the pool because they supplied the armbands.

I just had to check the calendar in case its 1st April
Maybe they ought to drain all the water out as well - just to be safe [V]

Reminds me of the Goon Show sketch where they dug a canal across Africa in case an aeroplane had to ditch, but they didn't put any water in it in case the aeroplane wasn't carrying any life rafts.

Sounds like a handy excuse to justify petty minor cost saving.
