"Hello? Is that the National Accident Helpline?
Ah, good. I'd like to make a claim against my local supermarket...
What happened? Oh, well, there'd been a spillage in one of the aisles and I fell over...
No, no, I didn't slip on it. No, someone had come along and cleaned it up...
No, no, I didn't go over because of the wet floor that was left after the spillage was cleaned up...
Yes, there was a sign that said "Caution: Wet Floor". But it was placed right in the middle of the walk way, and I tripped over it. Went down right on my backside next to the pickled onions...
Yes, that's right. What do you mean I can't make a claim?
But it was bloomin' dangerous! There should have been a warning that it was there! I wouldn't have fallen if there had been a Caution: Caution: Wet Floor Sign Sign!
Hello?
