It’s a peril that only a crack team of health and safety experts could have uncovered.
After two years and £250,000, they found that ten-pin bowling alleys up and down the country could be a ‘very dangerous’ environment for families. They concluded that it was too easy for children or teenagers to run down lanes and get trapped in machinery that sets up the pins – even though there was no record of any such accident having happened. The bizarre Health and Safety Executive report found that members of the public would be at risk if they walked along the 60-foot lanes to knock over pins by hand.
Its authors even considered ordering every bowling alley to put barriers across lanes. But they were forced to admit defeat – after realising that bowlers must be able to see what they are aiming at.

John Ashbridge, of The Ten-Pin Bowling Proprietors Association, [...] said he had watched HSE inspectors examining a bowling centre and he found their attempts to detect possible dangers ‘hilarious’.
[...]
The two-year investigation also concluded that staff must wear earmuffs to mask the noise of balls hitting pins.
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”
Right, Waste of money. In fact the government is all to often the source of our problems.
That that the bowling lanes Nixon had installed in the White House? It would appear that a Republican President actually did something Obama approves of.
-and people think more of this thing called “government” is a good thing?
the pic of obama looks completely fake/posed/photoshopped.
he looks stiff, no flow or “english” in his body movement, -no harmony.
his lower shins seem disproportionally thin relative to the rest of him. -no joy in his face.
very odd.

something is not right with that pic,
It’s true. I learned how to smoke in a bowling alley.
#23 SoundWash – You are one observant capitalist pig. You caught it. It’s a communist conspiracy to overthrow our nation with bowling. As the bourgeoisie are busy with their little bowling games the red army will spray their shoes with the secret chemical ‘X’ making them all succumb to the motherland. Strikes for all!! 8-10 splits are for the proletariat.

So you’re confirming this a real photo?
