I find interesting the rules now about alochol and public transport.
Especially when one reads that in the days of double heading on the old
Glasgow and South Western, it was not unknown for a the train engine
driver to enter the pilot engine across the tender if 'he thought you had
something good in a bottle', Mind you, until relatively recently, Air
France pilots were served wine with their dinner..... But how many
accidents have been avoided? How many railway accidents can you put down
to drink? I can think of Eltham, 1973 and possibly (although it's open to
argument) Eliott Junction in 1906.
How much legislation is being introduced for the sake of it? Even worse,
is the legislation introduced and then ignored, such as the current
problems with PLT/BPL (Power Line Telecommunications/ Broadband on Power
Line), where the Electro Magnetic Compatibility Regulations are being
blatently ignored by the government.......
then we have the situation with medical implants. A patient doesn't have
a pacemaker so he dies. Alternatively, he does, but it fails after 5
years. The relatives sue because it failed.........so what happens if
manufacturers just stop making them?
Like Dave, I despair......
