Very slippy, therefore a potential slip hazard and slipping can cause injury. If only geese would make use of the designated toilet area clearly marked out with cones and hazard tape.<br />The main hazard is the flock of greedy contingency-fee vultures (aka lawyers) overhead.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358349301959327747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-74499353032318889252011-05-26T16:30:22.952+01:002011-05-26T16:30:22.952+01:00Effing risk assessments.

It's a whole sodding 'demand' industry and form filling exercise consuming endless hours of teaching time trying to think what might, maybe could possibly go wrong.<br /><br />When I was at secondary school we went on a week-long trip to the Malham Tarn area and actually stood almost on the Malham Cove cliff edge looking down 300 feet. Jeez, they would have a fit nowadays that we were a) on a cliff, b) in the open air and c) not wearing suitable headwear/footwear with parachutes and full training how to deploy them, etc.<br /><br />Plus we skived off and smoked, drank cider and chatted up the local girls.<br /><br />But, amazingly, we all survived, which I suppose was why we never worried about any of it overmuch.Dizzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-2352459150853199042011-05-26T14:51:39.860+01:002011-05-26T14:51:39.860+01:00Avoiding low-flying geese is easy, you just hover ...Avoiding low-flying geese is easy, you just hover about fifty feet up in the air and they sail well beneath your feet.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.com
