Why are they even putting the risk that high ? Are people too afraid to knock the attack on compensation culture?<br /><br />Highways litigation has been with us for 500 years. Not once has anyone been sued for this in 500 winters. Its a tablod smearing lie. I fail to understand why it is given credence, other than to support the endless attack on "compensation culture". <br /><br />Don't worry, come April you will struggle to sue anyone for anything - car accidents, work accidents. And its barely made the papers !<br /><br />[Also - the post above is spot on]<br /><br />arryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674902318140252714.post-63798954628895093622013-01-21T11:48:20.085+01:002013-01-21T11:48:20.085+01:00I live in Upper Knowle. Community spirit vanished ...I live in Upper Knowle. Community spirit vanished here when Tesco & then Sainsburys opened. Our neighbours started to drive there. They literally stopped walking along the street, existing acquaintances have become just a wave through a windscreen - and only dog walkers remain to acknowledge on a regular basis. When it snows, most peoples reaction is - "How am I going to get the car out?" Looking up my street, some people have cleared a bit of pavement to the door of their car - but thats about it. <br />We don't know the people around us anymore. I've watched the occupants of our street ( which is a steep hill) cope with several very difficult winters with barely a comment to each other, as we are now unfamiliar with one another. Having all our facilities relocated away from neighbourhoods has removed opportunity for unorganised social interaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
