Am I the only one who thinks we should just take the warning stickers off everything and let darwinism chlorinate the gene pool a little? an idiot amnesty if you will.

No.We should keep the warning signs,thus allowing people an informed choice.Then not get all het up when dozy t0ssers choose to kill themselves.

At least this one had the decency to remove himself before we all had to start chipping in and paying his benefits...

I would hope security has step up at switch yards and substations. As an 8 year old kid I used play in a firkin big substation as unbelievably it had the same lock on the door as my house. Fortunately the heavy stuff was behind in a separate fenced compound. But it was fun for us kids looking at gauges and listening to the air buzz.

Dead copper thief. No sympathy. same for prats who stand on 3rd rails etc.

No Brettus, you're not! Biker Biggles' point about informed choice is all very well but surely common sense has to come into it somewhere too.

Keep all the signs up, the survivors can't say they weren't warned. Dartford in Kent was without power for 2 days a couple of years back when some pikeys nearly fried themselves trying to nick some cable which went bang in a big way. Only feel sympathy for the guys and girls from the emergency services that had to take the stupid pr*t away.
