[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 473855, member: 28452"] True. We seem to have become masters at creating virtual industries out of very little. Health and Safety management is surely the most obvious. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for careing for peoples welfare at work and elsewhere, but does it really need the number of people who seem to make it their full time task now? I believe that the OTT restrictions we see so often are the result of "Risk Assessors" trying to justify their existence by changing [B][I]something, anything even![/I][/B] Another example that strikes me is driving licences. When I passed my test on a car I could also drive anything up to a 7.5 ton goods vehicle, a minibus, tow any road legal caravan. These things are now extra license groups with attendant extra tests. There is a DVLA centre a few miles away and I commonly see special driving schools teaching trailer towing, etc. As I say a whole industry which didn't previously exist. I'm sure there must be many other examples. I don't blame the EU either. These things are home grown. (Well that's my Victor Meldrew session for today) [/QUOTE]
