Well, when I first worked for them up in Scotlandshire the Elven Safety bloke told us we always had to have one hand on the handrail when walking up and down stairs. I asked him if a Risk Assessment had been done to confirm that the increased time lost because of communicable infections (colds, stomach bugs) caused by forcing everybody to touch the hand rails was less than the time lost arising from trips and falls. He mumbled something about there being plenty of alcohol hand sanitisers around the building, spluttered a bit more, then changed the subject.Originally posted by Scruff View PostWell done - Hey Mister Tallyman, tally me
Please tell us how the Health and Safety Induction is?
I am fairly sure that meant '****, we never thought of that'.
I might just ask the same question again on Monday!

I initially thought that, but then realised that it could be random, although it is admittedly highly unlikely.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostI see no random capitalisation - merely the capitalisation of every word in "A Large Utility Company On The South Coast" rather than revealing that the client is "United Utilities in Bournemouth".
Another way of looking at it is that MP was using hyperbole to mock the OP for inappropriate capitalisation, and we should respect this IMVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVHO.

With luck, you'll have a window. It probably won't open, but at least you'll be able to look out at the sea and the beach and think "I'm stuck inside" for the summer months.Originally posted by RetSet View PostNot much wrong with the world when you get to spend summer by the sea
Have a
to go with that happy thought.
