The Gorse Fox sat on the train observing his fellow passengers. A large woman swept onto the train - she looked remarkable like Jo Brand, but older, very blonde and much more fearsome. Over the sound that leaked through his iPod earphones he could hear her holding court. She was bemoaning the bad press that "Health & Safety" receive and cast spells and curses upon the Daily Mail.
For your Health and Safety the Gorse Fox suggest giving her a wide berth (though frankly that is the only type suitable in this case).

'ealf 'n safey deserve all the bad press it gets. No one takes responsibility for their own safety anymore and the H&S zealots are slowly stifling all sensible activity. In a career lasting over 30 years in a dangerous profession, I am proud to say that, yes, we had accidents. We learned from them and moved on - and we never killed anyone. We did have H&S, but it was something we did, rather than something imnposed by posers who have "read the guide" and think they now know everything about it.
