The All New Elfin Safety Thread
« on: September 28, 2013, 10:11:04 AM »
I thought we had one of these but I couldn't find it.... perhaps it was removed for Elfin Safety reasons.... or to protect an cheeeldren or summat....? Shrugs:

Anyhoooo...

How I larfed last night like...

Went to the village amphitheatre which was absolutely packed solid - 1,000+ people in there...

This place...



...but with more people, all with chairs, cushions, lunch boxes and loadsabooze....

About ten minutes before the show started I made a comment about how amazing it was that the village people (yes, YMCA, etc. ::)) had managed to build the place all those years ago and it hadn't fallen down, sprung a leak etc....

Just then the power went off - pitch black the place was, not a single emergency light or illuminated 'Exit' sign in the whole place! happy001

So what did we do...? We just sat there and kept eating and drinking until they fixed it of course!  Thumbs:

Thank god there are still places like that in this country. As previously mentioned, I visited the Minack Theatre in Cornwall earlier this week and was amazed at the lack of H & S but also happy to see that it was really down to good old common sense. Rowena Cade who more or less built the thing in the 1930's must have been one determined woman  happ096

There is a kiddies play park just up the road from here...

When developers build a project they have to give 20% of the land back to the village... It is called the 'green area'....

Theoretically, the village maintains it, in reality they never do...  noooo:

So it either just grows weeds and has stuff dumped on it or the developer can do something with it to keep the place looking nice...

Some just put a path through and a couple of benches and lights but more popular is to turn it into a little play park... Although why anybody would want to have a play park next to their luxury villa is completely beyond me....

Anyhooo... just up the road is this little play park built in the 'green area' between two houses...

They put in some paths and planted trees... It has swings, a slide and a see-saw.... and a precipitous drop over the edge of the cliff with no barrier! happy001

I'll take some pictures tomorrer...

There is another just round the corner, lights, benches, swings and slide.... they've planted Oleander all around that one which as some of you may know is highly poisonous!
