Location: The other side of the Lake from work Rep Power: 12   | LONDON (Reuters) - How many men does it take to change a light bulb in a British church? Thanks to the European Union's "Working at Heights Directive" the answer is four -- over three days at a cost of more than 1,300 pounds. Preaching at St Benet's Church in Beccles, Suffolk in gathering gloom, Father Anthony Sutch had to call in electricians to change light bulbs that are 40 feet above the congregation. Because safety regulations deemed the church ceiling too high for a ladder, scaffolding had to be erected for a lengthy and costly replacement operation. Could Father Sutch have done the job himself? "When I was a young monk. I climbed up a ladder to have a look at something and two girls whistled and said what good legs I have. I haven't climbed up a ladder since," he told Wednesday's Daily Mail. __________________ You can't wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you - Look, if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!  | ||||||||

 bu!!sh!t. The only right way to do this job is to take the roof entirely off of the church, put it on the ground, change all of the light bulbs and then put the roof back on the church. None of the hokey scaffolding crap on my clock. | |||||||||

 lol:Mind, they don't mention the religion of the church (Catholic or C of E)...but wouldn't they best just pray to their god and HE/She/It would change the bulb?  __________________ You can't wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you - Look, if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away! | ||||||||||

In this case religion doesn't matter, the health and safety a$$hat$ have done it, if anything was going to force churches and organised religion out of business this is it. The next thing will be that you can't change a lightbulb in your own house! You'll have to bring in a qualified electrician to do that for you as you might electrocute yourself! | |||||||||||
