What the betting that PC safety campainers will either call for a ban on the
film, or a ban on fluorescent tubes?

No just a compulsory warning notice: "Breaking off the end of this tube,
filling it with petrol and igniting it may be dangerous", along with
"Not suitable for human consumption", "remove from cardboard sleeve
before fitting" etc. JP is probably deciding on the membership of the
Fluorescent Tube Use Safety Advice Group at this very moment.

Quite. At this very moment a no-win no-fee lawyer is preparing a brief
for substantial damages in respect of the negligent omission of such
safety warnings from the tubes.

In true part P tradition, they will seek to reduce casualties from this
type of accident by upto 20% by banning DIY fitting of halogen
spotlights....

That ought to do it!

Plus, it's a bit too much like preaching, to me. Shouldn't it say `Please

There was that restaurant in the news last week that's serving squirrel.
Someone suggested there should be a warning:

"May contain traces of nuts"

More than some fine perfumes, in some cases.
The Lexmark Z13 cartridge holds about 9ml of ink, and cost 23 quid, for a
total of about 2500 pounds a liter.

A peanut is not a nut.

It is a legume like a pea is.

I think I'll stick to vodka @ ca 10 ukp a litre, TYVM. Black ink gives
the toothbrush a bit of a hard time too, doesn't it...

Even when I'm desperate I'll find some sort of incoholical stuff in
that cupboard downstairs...

Perhaps they thought someone would make squids in ink with it.

We have so many idiot warnings now that few people bother reading them
at all. Perhaps a case could be made that adding another stupid warning
resulted in someone not bothering reading them all, and consequently
having an accident. Bout time these frivolous warnings got dealt with.

Of course at no point in the proceeedings would it ever be permitted to
point out that the adult involved is responsible for their own actions,
and clearly the cause of their own misfortune. Oh no.
