That's small beer mate. A bloke down the round from me was knighted and made Governor General of Barbados after scraping his knee on a pensioner's zimmer frame after he'd just had it on his toes with his pension book. :eek:

What for exactly? It's not like he had to pay for medical treatment and he certainly didn't have loss of earnings.

Almost unbelievable :confused:

My dad used to control a multi-million pound maintenance budget for Southern Water buildings before it was privatised. Some of the works were repeatedly targeted by burglars or vandals but he wasn't allowed to put a barbed wire fence up in case they injured themselves :rolleyes:

now, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the design of a gate to open and close. Similarly. isn't a swing supposed to swing back and forward?

so, some little sh*t can trespass, jump on a gate which is not designed to be swung on, break it and sue for 6k?

excuse me, I'm just about to steal a pen, stick it up my nose and sue bic for assaulting my bogeys.

I missed that article - it's ridiculous, this country (& I suspect many others) is just sinking in crap because of people like this. Always having to pander to the lowest common denominator. :rolleyes:

What happened to the 'if you fall out of that tree & break your leg don't come running to me' attitude? He should be paying for the gate to be repaired, but then that would mean doing something worthwhile like getting a job.

Don't bother. I'm sure your complaint letter would just seem nosey.
