    Sebastian Conran, who heads the Home Office’s Design and Technology Alliance Against Crime, said: “There are existing plastic glasses and if you go to a baseball game in the United States you can buy beer in a paper cup.
    Eh? Why would be want to do that? The game'll be over by the time I've finished my tea and got the flight.

        They should use these too.

          I still miss the old-style knobbly ones with a handle. They were much harder to smash.

            Bring back the pewter tankard.

            Bar room brawls would have comedy 'clonks' and 'clanks' like a 50’s pirate movie.

                Last Year I did a brief stint at an NHS body, and there was a cupboard placed near a corner and there was a sign on it saying

                "This is a cupboard, please do not walk into it"

                I sh*t you not.

                Needless to say I left after a month

                  How many people have tripped over those "wet floor" signs they put on shop floors or bumped your head on a "mind your head" notice? I don't notice them at other times.

                    I once tripped over a little orange 'traffic cone' that was marked 'CLOSE THIS DOOR' that was propping open a door.

                    I have never worked that one out.
