Got it? They have to pad the freaking lampposts because imbeciles were walking into them. Yes, apparently in "Great" Britain, the sheeple are so fucking stupid they cannot walk without government intervention. Un-fucking-real.Padded lampposts are being trialled in a London street to protect inattentive pedestrians.
A pilot scheme has been launched in Brick Lane after it was found to have the highest number of 'walking and texting' injuries in the country.
A study carried out by 118 118 found one in ten people has hurt themselves while focused on their mobile phone screen.
The charity Living Streets is so concerned that it has teamed up with the directory enquiries service to test a scheme to wrap up the nation's lampposts.
A poll will be carried out on Brick Lane to gauge the response of locals.
If successful, the concept will be rolled out in Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool.
In that vein:

That is all.

Y'know, I think the new official name for that country is
"The Country That's Where Great Britain Used To Be."
You know ... the padded lamp-post is ridiculous enough, but even more ridiculous is the fact that they do it because one in ten have hurt themselves.
omg! made of fail! that is unbelievable. ha!
That has to be a fake story. Has to be.
I sure hope so. 4/1 is a looong ways off, tho'...
OMG! Laugh now, we are probably next.
I had a teenager walk across the road in front of me this morning, texting, without looking. I'm sure their parents are proud.
If it were The People's Republic of California, they would have closed the street and made walking illegal.
An idiot got hit and killed by a garbage truck AFTER leaving a popular hiking trail. She was on the street as was the garbage truck.
California CLOSED access to the trail.
Obviously it was the hiking trail and mother nature's fault.
