Cloth. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Matt Buck (illustrator). First Edition. Hardback. Tick to chapters to some pages. Crosses to front page. Slight shelf wear and a small tear to edge of D/J. Imagine a world where you were banned from baking your granny a cake or feeding your child toast, and where council workmen legally vandalise the graves of people's loved wones, and where wellington boots come with a 24-page instruction manual. There is virtually no area of our lives left untouched by the Health and Safety Brigade, a group that has banned even more commonplace activities that the Taliban. Welcome to Britain in the 21st century where the jobsworth now Lords it large, issuing edicts of mind-bogling stupidity that ruin the quality of people's lives all in the name of Health and Safety. Journalist Alan Pearce has trawled Britian's press and the internet to find the most hilarious (and unfortunately all true) examples of health and safety gone mad. They will make you cringe whilst crying with laughter. You couldn't make it up. Illustrations. 144 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
