Stop! Health and Safety!

Another sketch idea.

CIVILIAN is attempting to do something perfectly normal and unobjectionable: drink a cup of tea, or put a stamp on a letter, or tie his shoelaces. Enter JOBSWORTH.JW: Oi! You can't do that here

Like it. A couple of quick ideas:

...
Civ: Look, I'm just trying to [drink my tea/etc]. I'm not going to hurt myself, or sue anyone. Why can't you let me carry out this perfectly ordinary action in peace?
JW: Now your being selfish Sir. It's not just you - what if somebody else tried to immitate your reckless actions? We have to think of the children.
...

Also, the last line strikes me as a bit weak. How about after the mega-accident JW comes back on and says something like "You can't die there Sir, someone might trip over you and get hurt"

Hey it made me laugh!

I read your skits in my internal Monty Python voices. :)

Yes: Idle as Jobsworth, Chapman or Jones as Civilian, and Cleese as Mogridge, HSE would be just about perfect :-)
