Well, they told us to do that in training!

Interesting to know what would happen if the tram/train(?) hit the 'safety' aids?

[#3]

I'd say they'd be slightly inconvenienced...

It's a joke !!

Firemen placed the hoses & protectors across a hardly used industrial track, took a photo, then removed the items !!

@Anonymous - now you've upset me - I thought it was genuine.

The rails don't look like UK gauge.. they look too far apart. The fire engine also doesn't look british.

That would never be allowed here in the UK... strict health and safety laws etc - even if it was just for a joke.

@7up - I sussed it as non-UK as soon as I saw the picture - as you say, the fire engine didn't look UK, the signage looked wrong (yes, I know  I'm getting a bit deep ). I was also suspicious about the rail gauge.

@Anonymous  Well spotted. It's been around for a while actually, but I didn't know that until my daughter pointed it out to me. I saw it for the first time yesterday.

Nobody mentioned it was British!

I saw a funny picture and laughed at it, didn't care about who what where when and why, cos that just destroys humour...
