Horselet

Pleased to report that the small horse noticed on 2 January is still alive and well. Fast food container still there, moved along but water apparently untouched.

But clearly a properly trained horse as it responded to my clucking by trundling across the field to see me, whereas it had ignored the clucking of the two young ladies whose clucking, from the same position by the fence, had preceded mine.

But not so pleased to report that I have now seen two hydraulic platforms - the sort of thing that one might use to repair fifth floor windows from the outside - left unpropped and hanging over public access areas near the new buildings on top of Epsom Station. One of them had been so left overnight.

My understanding of hydraulic safety in garages is that one should never work underneath something which has been lifted up by hydraulics unless the something concerned has first been locked into place, by props, locking bolts or otherwise. By extension, one should not walk away from a hydraulic platform left hanging hydraulically over innocent members of the travelling public; it should be put properly to bed first. What on earth would happen if some deranged hoodie took a bolt cutter to a hydraulic hose? Apart from getting hydraulic fluid squirting into his or her face that is. Are the Health & Safety people asleep on the job? Or are they fully committed to policing the regulations concerning the employment of faggies and fatties? Should I report them to headquarters?
