Britain, according to Agromenes, is fundamentally flawed, as demonstrated by the current state of affairs, which cannot be ignored.
In the heart of the countryside, a voice of dissent echoes against Britain's growing 'safety first' culture. Agromenes, a countryside crusader and a seasoned writer with 25 years of rural issues under his belt in a popular magazine, offers a fresh perspective.
For decades, Agromenes has travelled to London by train, often taking naps during the journey. However, he finds the constant safety instructions, such as 'See it, say it, sorted,' unnecessary and annoying. This sentiment is shared by many, who find the practice of warning the public about common situations, like wet platforms causing a higher likelihood of slipping, ridiculous.
Agromenes' frustration extends to the food industry, which he deems has the most engrained example of the attitude that someone else should always be held responsible for every mishap. Describing a dislike for a food as an allergy or intolerance is misleading and annoying to those with genuine food allergies. People with serious food allergies are responsible for making their allergies known to restaurants or food shops, not the other way around.
The business's responsibility is clear: to not serve a customer something they are allergic to, if the customer has informed them. However, the principle of caveat emptor - buyer beware - has been undermined, with an attitude of treating every mishap as someone else's responsibility and believing that the courts are there for claiming against businesses for negligence.
The Government's new Employment Bill extends extensive protections, but Agromenes questions whether this is necessary. The law is meant to protect from the wickedness of others, not from one's own foolishness. If people invest in propositions that sound too good to be true, they probably are.
In a sane society, it is not the waiter's responsibility to ask every customer about their allergies. Nor is it the duty of the Underground staff to post a new warning notice on the steps to the exit from a central London Underground platform, as the station has been managed successfully without such instructions for 168 years.
As Agromenes looks out at the rolling hills of the countryside, he can't help but feel that the public is being treated as incapable of looking after themselves in simple circumstances. The time has come, he believes, for a shift in mindset, where personal responsibility is valued once more.
