Well, we can’t go encouraging them
In what has to be another joke, they’re looking at banning fire extinguishers because (and I am not making this up) they are a fire hazard:
Fire extinguishers could be removed from communal areas in flats throughout the country because they are a safety hazard, it has emerged.
The life-saving devices encourage untrained people to fight a fire rather than leave the building, risk assessors in Bournemouth decided.
I weep for the Brits. They’re just in one giant cage that they can’t see the bars of.

When I bought my car the first thing I did was throw away the tire iron. Having it there might tempt me to try to change the tire myself. Now I am forced to call the auto club and leave it to the real professionals.
I’m much safer now.
