What Drives You NUTS About Modern Britain

Who would live in a country where no child is allowed to win a race on school sports day?
About 60 million Britons – that’s who!

Trapeze artists were told by insurers to wear hard hats in accordance with the European Union’s Temporary Work at Heights Directive
After falling in the prison shower, a career criminal was compensated £248,000, including a substantial amount for loss of earnings
A city council removed the conkers from dozens of horse chestnut trees, fearing for the safety of tree climbers searching for the ultimate sixer!

For anyone who’s ever utter the words ‘It’s political correctness gone mad!’ here’s a book that highlights the nonsense rules, pointless laws and outrageously expensive directives that leave most people either fuming with rage or laughing at the sheer lunacy of such flagrant and ridiculous red-tape. 

Lough out loud as you read about the children forbidden from winning a race at sports day. Guffaw at the phone contractor deemed unqualified to dig a six-inch trench because he did not have ‘underground capability’ Just bear in mind that this book doesn’t come with a safety warning, so when you do yourself a mischief falling out of bed because you’re chortling so much at the content, don’t be trying to nail the publisher for compo.
