Four days ago, I noted within my post regarding Bravery Awards the stupidity that surrounds the lack of action often demanded because of Health & Safety legislation, and the country's preoccupation with moronic approaches to the simplest things. As if by magic, I read in the paper yesterday that there's to be an application of common sense. Apparently no member of the emergency services will now be investigated or prosecuted for breaching laws if in the course of normal duty, he/she acts 'heroically'. Police, Firefighters and Paramedics can now get on and do the right thing. Apparently there is also a will to stop school trips being compromised by teachers having to take account of stupid rules, and a whole range of stupid situations can be avoided. I rather doubt that the blog had anything to do with the change of tack, but it's nice to rant about something and see a result within 72hrs!
