English school bans dangerous triangle shaped flapjacks

Canvey Island school bans triangle shaped flapjacks

A school's decision to ban triangular flapjacks after a pupil was hurt has been labelled "half-baked" by the Health and Safety Executive.

It follows an incident at Castle View School in Canvey Island, Essex, when a boy was hit in the face by a flapjack.

Catering staff at the school have been told only to serve square or rectangular flapjacks.

The school said the "isolated accident" had led to a review of "the texture and shape of the flapjacks" provided.

Rectangular ones have even more protruding corners. Only round flapjacks should be allowed. :coffee:

I've got a better strategy: If any kid starts throwing food, discipline them. Assuming that's still allowed. :roll:

Thank god no one threw a chair.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

"Round" flapjacks actually have endless numbers of corners.

Wouldn't it make sense to issue flapjacks to the teachers? For self defence only, of course.

This new law is unworkable - kids will simply buy rectangular flapjacks and cut them in two, diagonally. Well, those with the appropriate level of maths skills will - the others will pay/bully the smart ones into doing it for them!

IMO, the only safe option is to ban this vicious foodstuff (that is clearly made solely with the purpose of putting-someones-eye-out) altogether! :lay:
