Agent X Posted August 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Pun intended. Time is being called on the traditional beer glass as the Home Office calls in experts to develop a safer pint pot. The move follows growing concern at the number and extent of injuries caused in violent incidents involving glassware each year.Over the next four months a team of designers will produce a range of drinking vessels that are not only a safer pint glass but, crucially, find favour with the public. Although there is confidence that the designers can produce a safer glass, the key problem is overcoming the drinkers’ attachment to the traditional pint glass. 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. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article6807153.ece Because 87,000 injuries happen every year due to the glasses. If everything that caused harm were banned in this world there'd be no air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewinn Posted August 26, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I just don't get it with this Government. they Dont tackle the out of control people who can't handle their drink. instead ban drinking glasses. Out of control youths use knives, so yet again instead of tackling the yobs they decide to change the knives. i bet if someone gets attacked by a hammer the government will ban hammers. What government think tank come up with this latest load of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
