1) Health and Safety - is Elizabeth in trouble?

Didn't Kenton work for Nigel and Elizabeth during the holiday period. Nigel then took him (an employee) on the roof with not so much as a hard hat. He later took David up onto the roof in even more dangerous circumstances. OK - not an employee but on company business.

I've just had the builders in dealing with a flat roof about fifteen feet up. The scaffolding bill was horrendous, but necessary for very sound Health and Safety reasons.

If Nigel had lived, say in a wheelchair, they'd have prosecuted him. If it had been David who died they'd have locked Nigel up and thrown away the key. Elizabeth is a partner in the business, who knew all about the proposed trip up on to the roof - she merely disagreed with when it was done. H&S could still prosecute her.

GOSH. Is Elizabeth in trouble? Is it Lizzie! who gets arrested?

Nigel and Kenton talked about a lot of things putting up their banner. I don't think a risk assessment was included.

I teach evening classes in a design and technology classroom (not mine). My Health and Safety Risk Assessment runs to three pages.

That's a good point.

Thinking of all the points made in response to this story line, one has to wonder if it's a point that's occurred to VW or the writing team.

Or

The Archers is now a soap, where plot takes priority to reality and real people.
