Cake banned

A pensioner was not allowed to give her friend a homemade birthday cake because it broke a centre's health and safety rules.
Elaine Richards made the cake for her friend's 96th birthday party at their local Age Concern day centre.
But when she arrived she was told the cake broke hygiene regulations and the OAP's were only allowed to eat cakes bought from shops.
Andrea Scott of Age Concern, which runs the centre in Barnstaple, Devon, explained: "We have many frail and elderly come here and some are diabetic. If we let one person do this, the floodgates are open. We don't know where these cakes come from. If something went wrong, we could be sued."
What a jobsworth! and how does she know where the cakes come from just because they are bought in shops and surely they are more likely to have more harmful ingredients than homemade cakes. Bureaucracy gone totally mad!
Soon people will be scared to leave their houses in case they get sued!!
