Title: Fire hazard
Post by: kurnal on July 06, 2014, 09:40:19 PM
I went to the O2 arena in Greenwich last night.

I bought a plastic bottle of Buxton water 350ml from the bar in the venue in case I needed a drink during the show. The bar staff insisted that the top must be removed before taking it into the arena. They said that a bottle of water with the top on is a fire hazard. That's a new one on me.

Anyone know what this is all about?

I think it's more that it's a heavy object hazard if thrown and the staff have misunderstood the safety briefing.

Would a photo of matron be more acceptable.
