The firs...They really need to change the law here.<br /><br />The first question should/must be <i>"could you have avoided the accident"</i>? In this case, by looking where you were walking. Using the same collection of human senses that prevented you strolling face first into the baked beans shelving, a wall or falling into the frozen veg freezers.<br /><br />I've used this anecdote before but its worth repeating: Commonly in South East Asia (and no doubt in other tropical places around the world) you'll see pavements lifted a foot or so by tree roots, kerbs that are two foot high (step off those without looking and you'll know about it), missing manhole covers or open 6 foot deep concrete drainage ditches running alongside the pavement. I once asked a local about these obvious dangers and wondered what would happen if you tripped over or into such a hazard? "<i>Don't</i>" was the curt response. "<i>You fall in; your fault for not looking</i>" Harsh, but fair.<br /><br />While the system clearly means well, sadly, we're designing a world for the stupid and irresponsible.John Pickworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02166443099429490782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-1370739563534016532012-11-23T15:06:54.232+00:002012-11-23T15:06:54.232+00:00Shops have only themselves to blame for creating c...Shops have only themselves to blame for creating compensation opportunities for the vultures.

That said, she's manifestly a danger to the public as well as herself since she's proved incapable of engaging her brain when in a "pork pie trance". Rather than a further appeal, Morrisons should contact Cornwall Social Services since this is obviously a "care for the idiocracy" issue.Umbongonoreply@blogger.com
