The importance of hygiene

Thanks to Curly's Corner Shop we can read that:

"I am just about heartily sick and tired of the “nanny state” that we are living in, the regulation, the overbearing health and safety rules, the maternalistic approach to risk, the fear of the compensation claim etc., etc., etc.

I’ve just returned from my local South Shields newsagent aghast, next to the display of sweets and confectionery there was a bottle of hygienic hand wash gel with a notice attached to it advising customers to cleanse their hands before choosing from the merchandise!

* Scared of spreading bugs, diseases, and other nasty things?
* Don’t want to be the source of an outbreak of a stomach disorder in little children?
* Another reason to work hard and remove risk from our daily lives?
* When are these people going to stop “nannying” and start to concentrate on being normal?

Then they go and hand out dirty money in our change which has already passed through countless grubby fingers!"
