Even bigger irony if she took him to hospital.

I like the bit where it says "Police revealed today they have charged a
man" - obviously used too high a charge current!

Whatever happened to Willie Whitelaw's short, sharp shock?

A man suffered serious burns after cutting through a live electricity

He is being treated in hospital with scars covering 25 per cent of his
body.

His burns healed quickly then?

So, to add to innumeracy and illiteracy, do we need immedicacy?

Solicitors will now be chasing him to take up the case against the owners of
the building - for failing to ensure it was secure.

"The coroner recorded a verdict of death by misadventure. "

Terminal stupidity, more like. I have precisely no sympathy for this bozo. In
fact, my first response was "good".

I wouldn't say the crime justified a punishment of 10 days
agonising death.

I also don't see how you can claim to be stealing scrap metal
when the metal was clearly still in use. That's not consistent
with the definition of scrap.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember (Alan J. Wylie)

Absolutely true. A farmer friend of mine had some yoofs cross several
hedges to get to his barn in the pitch black where one of them proceeded
to give himself several nasty stab wounds by walking into a plough blade.

He (the farmer) was prosecuted for not having protective covers over the
blades and not having warning notices up. Illuminated, presumably.

We were driving down te road last weekend somewhere in Oxfordshire when
we saw a big NON illuminated sign 'Warning: road lighting not in operation'

Now after dark without road lights you wouldn't have been able tp read
it would you? and I would have said that anyone driving without their
eyes closed would be able to tell that there were no street lights..

How many temporary signs are illuminated? Most are retro reflective
though.

it would you? and I would have said that anyone driving without their
eyes closed would be able to tell that there were no street lights..

The presence of street lighting also dictates the speed limit, 30mph
unless otherwise indicated and with small repeater signs.

Got quite a few of those round here (south Bucks.). They put them up
where they have decided not to switch them on anymore - in order to save
leccie (i.e. money). Some controversy as in some cases they spent
equivalent to many years of running costs on installing them only a few
years ago. But on at least one stretch, they have LED cats eyes.

They've done that on the A418 out of Aylesbury and the Wendover
bypass. On the former I imagine pedestrians & cyclists (shared path)
will suffer most. On the latter I don't think there's a footpath, so
it isn't missed.
