Janepie33 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I went to Sainsbury's today. I bought some daffodils. Why why why do you think they had a label on them saying "Do not eat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Personally I have never, ever been tempted to eat a daffodil However there are some strange folk out there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I bought a packet of mixed nuts and fruit.... It had a warning on it "contains nuts"..... Errrr yeah, that's why it's mixed nuts and fruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I think thats an abuse of ones personal freedom - if someone WANTS to eat daffodils then, IMHO, they should be allowed to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have seen the declaration "contains egg" on the inside of a box of eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have a theory that, at some point in the not too distant future, we will all be advised to stay in bed all the time as LIFE CAN BE HAZARDOUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Fred - your do not iron while wearing shirt reminded me of a girl a friend used to work with. She came into work with a burn mark on her neck. She was running late and decided the collar of her blouse was creased.....you can guess the rest!

Lavenders_Blue Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Fred - I assume your label means 'Do not iron this shirt while you are wearing it' rather than 'Do not wear a shirt while you are ironing'? Although I do like the thought of it suggesting that bare-chested is the only safe way to iron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 In fairness, I don't think that's over the top, as they are actually poisonous to humans, and you can eat other flowers-eg nasturtiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Was in M & S today and a lady asked the assistant for a full length mirror. The assistant showed her to one in the changing rooms as they are not allowed them on the shop floor due Health and Safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clucker1 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 It seemed particularly absurd to me too, whatever next. I know, several years ago my daughter's nursery school got marked down by Ofsted for having mirrors as they are supposedly dangerous. I think they were replaced by plastic ones.

Luvachicken Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Some dippy person might think the daffodils are spring onions that have flowered and use them in their cooking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 There used to be a warning on Sainsburys bleach bottles that said "suitable for use by vegetarians" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I remember a few years ago that they were having to add a note on the side of drills to say do not scratch your head as some bright spark (it was in America) had used his drill . . . and gave himself a jolly good scratch. Can't remember if he killed himself or was badly injured. They were suing the drill company because it didn't carry a warning. Can't help thinking of Gerald the Gorilla - he did eat those daffodils you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
