grease on railings.

George_Michael

How long until someone gets grease on their hands which causes them to have an accident (maybe losing their grip on the handrail) when getting on the bus and they end up suing the householder?

I'm sure that they wouldn't have too much trouble finding a "no win no fee" lawyer to take the case.

That's not a problem because the established law on anti-climb paint is that it only has to be in English.

If the fence belongs to the bloke and its on his land, he can do what he wants with it.

Untrue.

Look up 'Duty of care to trespasser'.

Not going to work.

They would know that they had grease on their hand and once they know that it's their responsibility not to do something which is potentially dangerous with grease on your hand.

If someone greased the handrail on the bus, that would be another matter.

Btw, a lady on a radio phone-in told the presenter she had put barbed wire around the top of her fence to stop the local scroats using her garden as a short-cut. The Police told her it was illegal and she could be prosecuted.
What she should have done was to remove the fence panels and then replace them with the barbed wire. This must be legal as my local farmer has erected barbed wire fencing around all his fields.

The police were wrong.

It is not illegal to put up barbed wire but it must be clearly visible so that someone cannot hurt themselves on it without realising it is there.

Even without checking the law (which has nothing specific to say on the subject of barbed wire), it's fairly obvious that they are wrong simply on the basis of the vast amount of barbed wire around.

if you ever get arrested over a section 5 public order offence , ask the officers concerned what that actually is and what the law says .. i bet you they wouldnt be able to tell you

I don't know what the law is on this, but in my opinion it's his fence, he should be allowed to do what he likes to it! Just because it's near a bus stop doesn't mean all and sundry have a right to lean on it (or maybe they do, as I said I don't know the law! But they shouldn't).

Unless of course the council is paying for the fence. I can imagine that people continually leaning on it would wear it down far quicker than your average fence, meaning more costs for whoever owns it.

So someone with metal railings would be within their rights to run an electric current through them, killing anyone who touches them? Because it's their railings?
