He shouldn't have been up there, but an 80 hour community order seems like a bit of an overreaction.
If the kid was left unsupervised rather than at work with dad, he'd probably be up to far worse.
Can't vote, as the poll fails CUK regulations.Comment

I used to play on building sites when I was young, I remember one time, playing in a JCB without the engine running, pulling a lever and the bucket lowering on the front, nearly crapped myself, I must have been about 7.
The whole site was like Counterstrike for real, running around half built houses, piles of sand, bricks, dumper trucks, jcbs etc...
It's such a Nanny state these days.Last edited by Scrag Meister; 19 July 2013, 07:53.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

When I bought house in 1998 the JCB driver let a child have a drive. The child floored it and it headed towards an occupied house. Last moment the driver grabbed the wheel and ran over a sports car before embedding the JCB into the side of a transit.
It was fun to watch.Comment
