Here's another one for the list!

Local authorities across Britain wasted nearly £1 million performing "topple tests" on gravestones after taking an "overzealous" approach to health and safety standards, it has emerged.

Perhaps they are concerned for the safety of the local 'inhabitants' having to lie down beneath these massive stones

Of course the source of all this is people not taking responsibility for their own safety and relying on suing local government instead. Ultimately the cost has to be borne by the taxpayer.

Wherever we got the suing culture from I've no idea

You got it from us I'm afraid, that's why coffee has to be labelled "hot" and lawn mowers have labels that say "Warning: May cause death." What ever happened to natural selection?

Ridiculous...
It's like having a glass window with a label saying "Caution: do not wipe with a hammer"
