My pub is being sued, because a child scratched her leg!!
The child in question was playing on the outside play area when she slipped and scratched her leg - when questioned about how it happened her parents couldn't provide an answer as they were in a different part of the pub getting ****ed and not supervising their little 'un like all the signs say they should.....
The girl's mother refused any kind of first aid help because in her words 'it's only a scratch' - it wasn't even bleeding!!!
This morning I received notice that some tin pot claims solicitors are putting in a claim because their client suffered 'laceration and bruising'.
Just WTF is the world coming to, when a child can fall over and very slightly hurt themselves, and these idiots can put a claim in for negligence : roll : How many people fell over and took the skin off their knees when they were kids???
I would love to go to court with this and watch any sound minded judge / magistrate throw the case out for time wasting, but the company I work for will probably just write a cheque out for £200 or so as this will be cheaper than all the f&cking about.
These things really make my blood boil...
