Health and safety poll

I climbed trees much taller than that at 10

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.

We used to do the same. Hide and seek on building sites. We used to run along the top of half built walls two storeys up to escape each other, or run across the rafters if the roof was being built. Great fun, but my parents would have gone mental if they'd seen us. Had to leg it from the a couple of times but never got caught

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.

What's the point of anything fun happening before YouTube was around.

I want to know why the kid is wearing padded jacket and gloves in this heatwave. More likely to die of hyperthermia.

Photo was taken in February – there is snow on the houses behind

Given that its in Liverpool; it's probably the safest place for the kid

[mudskipper]

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.

The andyw option has gone downhill.

Well looking at that scaffold I would not go on it (missing hand rails / bracing / ladder gates / ties ) so no, sprog should not be up there.
