We live in a 'blame culture', if someone has got big clumsy feet and doesn't look where they're going, then trip over an uneven kerb. It's not an "Oh dearie me, I am a clumsy person". No,it's the council's fault the kerbstone was knocked askew by a truck not ½ an hour ago, and we shall immediately sue the crap out of them.
It's what I call the irresponsible society.
