Why would they do that? Seems ridiculous.
Or is it because they’re denying that there are going to be issues over the winter and may reflect badly on them?
There seems to be no rationale behind the decision.

Please sir, please sir. He was smoking as well.

Seems the lights are bright on her present tenure…..problem is they’re all warning lights.

We complain when the government issues advice and complain when they don't. Have the people of this country become so ineffectual that all common sense has been lost and they require guidance on everything?

[naomi24]

Exactly, Vulcan.

I guess the government are leaving it to the media to do it for them.
In light of some of the candle threads on here(no pun intended) it seems that some of it is quite useful for some:

Friday evening: ‘Government Intervenes On Giving Energy Asvice’

Saturday morning: ‘I guess the government are leaving it to the media to do it for them’

Seems like this flip-flopping is catching!

It would be interesting to know if the manufactures of the items with the labels have done so for fear of litigation or somebody has actually done those things and the warnings are necessary. :o)

[FatticusInch]

Yeah, if only we had a credible government going in the right direction instead of all this in-fighting eh?

The OP headline was a statement of fact.
My post about the media was an opinion.

You’re stalking is getting more obsessive, you ought to take some of your mates advice on that.

Undoubtedly, it’s anything to prevent litigation. I liked the one about the pushchair though.

If your OP was a statement of fact then your opinion contradicts it.

[Zacs-Master]

Flip

Flop

[FatticusInch]

Even for you that’s pathetic.
But then, you are an avid Tory supporter….who doesn’t vote Tory!
Of course not….Lol.

[Zacs-Master]

You sound a little rattled, Fatti. Calm down dear, it’s only Answerbank.

[FatticusInch]

Lol, must try harder me old china.

[Zacs-Master]

OK, Captain flip-flop. I will.

[davebro]

there was actually a court case about super-hot coffee spilled in someone's lap

[THECORBYLOON]

I think that was meant for the "labels" thread...

[davebro]

yes - I flopped !!!

Don’t feel bad, it’s a hallmark of government atm.
