True Jan, I have known of many people that have claimed from slipping in shops etc. However as the above article states there are still no actual cases of this happening for snow clearance.
The story is yet another example of the the feedback loop that can created by the likes of the Daily Mail and local authorities where no one has the conviction to give measured answers.
It has to be said I know of a few workers at DDC that read the Mail, which is even more dangerous.
The fact of the matter, no one has sued! They could, but haven't...why? People 'actually' do get knocked over by buses, so perhaps we should stop crossing roads as this is far more likely?
The Daily Mail and other such brainless papers now trade not only on making people scared of things that do happen to people eg: stabbing, terrorist attacks, living next door to sex offenders, but the also make people worry about things that haven't actually happened...but could!
I have some more ideas for Richard Little John and friends of 'things that could happen':
Aliens COULD land and set up faith schools. Only teaching the beliefs of their planet and anyone not adhering to these ideas COULD be executed by prolonged laser eye surgery.
Babies COULD start their own factories and create royal memorabilia china with dreadful spelling mistake on it, resulting in world humiliation.
The Mail readership could take over the country and place leadership in the hands of Richard Little John, because he speaks so much sense to us all. (I realise this one is just plain stupid and could never really happen)
