Geordie582 Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 I'm surprised you lot haven't claimed compensation for dammage to your lungs from chalk dust. Perhaps there's still time...........? Quote

I personally hate this compensation culture we live in.Even if i did get damage definately from chalk dust i still wouldn't sue them because why should i? It was the way it was back in the day...

Chris Perkins Posted November 18, 2004 Posted November 18, 2004 Surely if lots of people sue for example the local council it will mean that the local council has less money to provide services to you, a local person. If you sue an educational authority, it will mean that the schools will get less books/equipment. I'm sure they have an amount of money for legal action stashed away, but ultimately the people suffer in some small way.The compensation culture can respresent a selfish side to today's society. If I tripped up a paving stone when I was younger (and indeed now!) I would be told to bloody watch where I was going. Quote

You can sue them for their poor paving and a few years later when you paint your garage door lime green they can sue you for mental damages caused by the obscene colour... Quote
