Thought for the day

Thursday 20th March, 2008

Even though I’m very much against the proliferation of the compensation culture in the UK, I still think that the threat of legal action can be helpful in stopping people acting in an inappropriate or dangerous manner.  Nevertheless, even if an individual or organisation has clearly done something wrong, I can’t help feeling that people take seeking compensation a little too far.

    I once found half a cockroach in a piece of cake in Tunisia, which I was in the middle of eating – and I too suffered psychological trauma – how could I finish the rest of the cake?! This incident occurred 20 years ago and I still suffer from flashbacks of wasted, un-eaten cake!

    Thankfully for me I got satisfactory compensation – another piece of cake!

    Give the guy a bottle of water and stop wasting everyone’s time!

    “Give the guy a bottle of water and stop wasting everyone’s time!”

    Amen to that.
