    Just drive everywhere instead. But then you'd get fat and have loads of health problems. Grazed knees would be the least of your problems. You'd probably have no knees on account of your legs being amputated due to the diabetes-related gangrene.

    Have you suffered an accident or injury that wasn't your fault.....?

    "I was at work and someone was mopping the floor. They didn't have a sign out, so despite seeing them mopping and seeing what looked like water on the floor, I had no idea the floor was wet. I tripped over and broke my leg. The pain eased when AccidentClaimInjuryLawyersForEveryone got me £50,000 and they recovered their fees from the other side, so I got 100% of my compensation, which fixed my leg"
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    I've stumbled over a lot more of those signs left in daft places than I have slipped on wet floors :)

    Also, it's pretty impossible to watch every footfall without walking into lamp posts/under buses.

    You should report problems with your pavements and roads via this web link, I had a moany phase a few months ago and now all our pavements are being re-laid and the the road has been patched up. Doesn't take long to report it and I suppose the local council would rather spend a couple of quid patching an area that dealing with compo etc.
