I never thought of that. That must surely be the reason for such labeling, to avoid any confusion over nuts and testicles. The last couple of posts on this thread reminded me about the obituary for Common Sense.

I think H&S rules are bent by those who want to get out of doing something and by those who want to get paid for doing nothing.

Jerseygirl......Had too many drinks and forgot to answer your question, yes it was Hoole, Chester.

I remember having a few drinks and thinking I was fine but then you walk outside and hit the fresh air and all of a sudden your head begins to swim..... When your sitting with friends you dont notice the amount of drinks you are consuming.

DaveLovesDee...Yes how much worse can it get pretty soon you will have to ask permission to sneeze. How many times have I sneezed and pulled a muscle.....or could be they will limit the amount of teaspoons of sugar you can put in that tea or how many you can drink a day. Big Brother is Watching You.....

Problem with Common Sense is that that it is not very common.

.......or rather, those in charge of justifying their own existence are assuming that 'we' don't have common sense and need to be told every little last thing else we might sue them
