I was astonished to come across a story showing the climate of fear that exists amongst our health professionals who seem to want our environment to be absolutely safe. In this case, in Gloucestershire, it was decided that putting napkins with the meals-on-wheels service to old age pensioners could be dangerous because the poor old souls might choke on them.
Who seriously thought that they would try to eat them anyway? Or are the meals so bad that it was felt that the napkins might be seen as an improvement?
Just because people are old doesn't mean to say that they are also Ga-ga!
