We like to keep an eye out for laws of the land being put to good use…
A seven strong coffee morning for over 50s which has met at Eye Library in Eye, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, every Tuesday for the last four years without incident have had their meetings axed by concerned council officials reports the Telegraph .
The conscientious health and safety officers banned the outrageous meetings claiming that toddlers from a nearby nursery who use the library at the same time could be injured if hot coffee spilt on them.
Now members, who used to pay 20p each to the library to cover costs, have arranged to meet at each other’s homes instead.
Derek Taylor, one member of the coffee club, condemned the "laughable" move and claimed they had usually finished their drinks by the time the toddlers arrived for their half hour visit.
Good to see people busy despite the downturn.

They’re luck to be having a coffee morning, if things get any worse they’ll all have to get back to work!

how do councils and local authorities manage to attract such moronic people

Would the same logic not prevent the service of all hot drinks everywhere, for instance in coffee shops where toddlers might also be brought? I wonder if staff at Council run day care centres are permitted a cuppa?
