There's a very deep pool from which to choose but this one never fails to both amaze & enrage me.

The Occupier's Liability Act 1957 & 1984.

The 1957 Act legislated to ensure that invited persons, visitors or basically anyone with a legal reason to be on any land or premises were given reasonable protection from coming to harm.

The 1984 amendment of the Act, brought in by some clown called Lord Hailsham, extended the legislation to give the same protection to people who had no right to be on the land or premises which, of course, included burglars & other intruders.

For the purposes of the Act the occupier is the person who has control of the land / premises & if a person who is on the land / premises sustains an injury the occupier can be sued for damages unless they can show that all reasonable steps were taken to prevent any injuries.

Warning signs about any potential harmful risks being part of complying with the Act.

I, therefore, have to display signs warning that our fences have anti-climb spikes, so the signs are really there to tell a burglar that they need to wear gloves & be extra careful when illegally entering our property. 

I have heard the argument that persons who are authorised to be on the premises need to be warned but to date none of our visitors have ever been required to clamber over our fence so don't need to be warned about the spikes.

We let them use the door or, for our window cleaner etc, we unlock the gate.

I hate the rise of tipping .
I do tip for good service but it's gets more and more .
We will end up like América who expect tips for everything

(Sorry, I'm just a bit bored right now!)

So am I the world is going to hell in a handcart and I don't know what to do about anything .
I have several big decisions to make and just don't make them

  As a Republican I have to agree.

Or since he's a King Charles just his head would do.

Mr Wilson liked to brag about his new electric car
Only costs £5 a charge he says but never says how far
He only drives it round the block
And occasionally to the shops
He's something of a celeb in his local Spar.

It's only necessary to be aware of the basics. Google points to where you can crib the detail.

Just saw your recovery today. Wondering it its worth getting up 

There are far less legitimate bots than that one out there. The Internet is pretty much the wild west.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Yesterday at 06:20:47 PMWe are the pensioners, we were the core of PF for years til it all went a bit pear shaped.  We need the footfall here.

Quote from: Vlad on Yesterday at 07:07:50 PMHi again GM, I don't have any problems with PF although there are a number of twonks on there that I have blocked but all in all I am ok with it.

I can't remember if I'm a pensioner or a twonk.. I'm sure someone will remind me..
