Made me chuckle at the dumbness of our trans atlantic fiendsFurther discussion on the list considered possible responses. The first was to counter-sue for damage to the wall and trolley. Much better was the suggestion that the injured party prove his magical abilities and show his ticket for the Hogwarts Express - and even that's not necessarily sufficient for the barrier to open - c.f. Chamber of Secrets.So someone I know works for a company that does property management for train stations. One of the managers has had to go to a meeting concerning Network Rail being sued. Apparently a tourist family from ole US of A went to Kings X to get a photo taken between platforms 9 and 10 where there's a spiffy blue plaque about the Hogwarts Express leaving from platform 9 3/4. So their son grabs a trolley and runs straight at the wall with the predicatble result of going arse over tit and doing himself an injury.
Predictably NW are being sued for not having a sign up saying that it's a brick wall not the entrance to a fictional land.
When Bubba grows up and can do something even dumber, who reckons he's a future winner of the Darwin Awards?
Frivolous lawsuit of the day
