Seen it all now...

Just bought a couple of made to measure roller blinds on the internet
and very nice they are too.

Except for one thing.

Heavy metal ball chain (no 10 gauge, aka 4.5mm balls) - good.
Ball chain connectors - special "breakaway" safety type because
apparently, somewhere, some numpty has hanged themselves on a roller
blind.

Around two children a year die from hanging themselves on blind cords in
this country.

So, why not offer a child friendly break away version for those to whom
it matters and a stronger version for the rest of us?

If I vote UKIP tonight, will they put a stop to this nonsense? Enquiring
minds want to know... ;-

Hopefully, even they wouldn't be that stupid.

If Nigel thought it would get him an extra vote he might.
