What a strange thread. People do seem to take leave of their senses when discussing health and safety issues nowadays.I have often read eminently rational posts from kendall, yet a few letters back there he is saying that because something heavy once fell on a car and crushed it flat, that proves you shouldn't put a child in a car. I was in Faversham a year or two ago, and saw where a gas explosion had destroyed a house. Now, would kendall deduce from this that people shouldn't allow their children into houses? Obviously gas is dangerous, and so are cars. But grownups need to learn to assess risks, and approach them sensibly.
