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.

OMG. Will they outlaw Doritos? Triangular shaped scones? Wedges of cake, pie, quiche? Bugles? This could become HUGH and SERIES if this outrage spreads to the USA.

One square equals two triangle’s - double the threat. Or, don’t bake them so hard in the first place. IOW, what’s to prevent some kid cutting a very crispy square waffle into two triangles and throwing them? Or, one crispy square waffle has four times the chance of hitting someone in the eye.

In human medicine, psychiatry, and law enforcement, it is widely and generally known that some individuals are indeed just bat guano crazy. I think it’s safe to say that as a nation Great Britain has fallen into this category.

Remember, this is the authority that mandated only five holes in a saltshaker because people were putting too much salt on their fish and chips.
