It's not really H+S's fault that we have a legal system that at no points
allows for the abrogation of a duty of care..... the yanks will have some small
print to the effect that you are entering a risky environment under your own
recognisance and that you cannot therefore sue anyone if something blows up and
hurts you.... Unfortunately the knock on effect is that if something is
inherently dangerous (and gas-fired portable almost anything is indoors unless
measures are taken) then they can't let you do it, or if you do it, they can't
let the public in.....

Subject: [modeleng] Harrogate Show
Hi All,
Last Friday I went to the Harrogate ME Show.
On walking into the first hall which is normally packed with traders, the first
impression was what is missing. The answer was a lot of the normal traders, so
much so that in the centre there was a snack bar set out with seats and I even
spotted a stall selling sweets .
It seems that the internet has started to effect shows as the traders now find
that they can sell sufficient online so why bother with the expense of having a
stand.
Still overall it was a good show despite apparently Health and Safety shutting
down some Hot Air engines on their demonstration stand, as I believe because
they were gas fired.
