I'll see your wire cutters, and raise you an engineer undoing a bolt with 
Vernier Callipers..... <aaaarrrrgggghhh!!!>

>Health and Safety is now ridiculous here, some machines have so many
>safety guards on them they are simply impossible to use.

Yessir.  We have a lovely 100ton press which the safety nazis have limited 
it to "notching" only.... it is so guarded that it takes well over an hour 
to change out the tooling!

>One of the bad things about the whole european crap is that you are no
>longer allowed to use common sense.

We have that problem down here too... you simply cannot legally define 
"common sense" so it obviously does not exist...  sad.  maybe thats what 
killed the dynosaurs.. the legislated themselves to extinction?
