Should be dragged out, put in the stocks, and flogged.

What is it with some people? Being horrid to old people is just so wrong. Don't they know they'll be old one day?

Oh Dear: Banned by half-baked bureaucracy

"A home-made birthday cake for a 96-year-old man has fallen foul of health and safety police

HE WAS born before the discovery of antibiotics and survived the Depression and two world wars, yet staff at a day centre run by Age Concern decided that it was too much of a risk to let him eat a slice of home-made birthday cake.
The Madeira cake was baked for the 96-year-old man by Elaine Richards, a retired district nursing sister and a member of the Women’s Institute.

But when Mrs Richards, who is in her 70s, tried to deliver the cake to her elderly friend, who does not wish to be identified, her contribution to the birthday fare was rejected because of food and hygiene rules.

She was told by staff at the day centre in Barnstaple, North Devon, that only shop-bought cakes were acceptable.
