EXCLUSIVE - Enforcement notice details wide-ranging fire safety breaches at CLG

[Midland Retty]

Yes very interesting. Nice to know that our lord and masters adopt the "Do as I say , not as I do" approach. Very refreshing!

What gets me is that surely someone, somewhere in DCLG would have known that at some point investigations or enquiries would be made into whether or not they practie what they preach.

You would surely think they'd want to be seen whiter than white, or am I being silly? (no need to answer that, I was being sarcastic)

Well done Colin, the do as i say not as i do attitude needs to change! Hopefully this will be a wake up call for government and the services which enforce the acts and regulations.....
Odly i got wind of this report from a very senior manager, who i must think all of his premises have current risk assessments.....he might want to check!?

Thank you, Ando.  But, will this prejudice my knighthood at all?
Talking of knighthood, could someone please forward the following link to Sir Ken:

Incorrect pronounciation of English is a much more serious crime than flagrant breaches of every possible Article of the Fire Safety Order.

I should be happy with Mr Todd if i was you!

He did indeed seem to invent a new word in his interview!

Could be a matter of "Pot/Kettle Black" as i do recall you having some difficulty with a certain french phrase, so you may wish to cut Sir Ken some slack....English may not be his first language, which might explain his lack of knowledge of legislative fire safety?

Quite amusing for you Mr Todd.

[Midland Retty]

Ah, my bestest friend in the whole world - Sir Colin. The impending Government cuts will probably mean less work for the likes of you and I in future, but you should take comfort in the knowledge that you could always turn to being a comedy script writer, if all goes bellly up!.

(I'm also glad the article features a picture of you which is different to the others I have plastered all over my Colin Todd shrine in the office  )

You mean there are no dart holes in it or comdey moustaches drawn on?
