Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Its Health and Safety gone Mad I tell you!(Might be along similar lines to the Political Correctness gone mad)
I was driving home through The Netherlands last week and while I was hacking along the fast lane of their 2-lane motorway when I noticed a bit of a kerfuffle up ahead. Slowing down a bit the reason for the slight bunching in the traffic turned out to be a bloke shoveling muck from the gutter into the central reservation protected by another chap waving a little red flag about 10 yards closer to us also stood by the side of the fast lane.
Here in the UK they'd have shut the motorway for that - - for at least a week! I am sure the B3tans have lots of examples of Health and Safety gone mad or, better, examples of where the safety officer would have had a heart attack if only he knew what you'd been up to.
