Mums from the Pat-a-Cake Playgroup are furious after being banned from serving tea and toast on health and safety grounds.

The group, which caters for up to ten children, have been barred by their local council from having snacks during their weekly sessions.

If they fail to follow the edict they could end up by losing their free playtime at a library in Rawmarsh, South Yorkshire.

Don't talk to me about Health and Safety nonsense! My best friend had an accident riding a horse on a holiday in New Zealand, and she broke her back, and tore a tendon in her shoulder. She's doing ok, but is banned from lifting anything for 6 weeks. She rang the airline today to arrange to have help with her bags, and was told that for health and safety reasons they wouldn't be able to do anything for her.

So she'll be relying on the kindness of complete strangers. Apparently it would be a big help if she was travelling with someone. Which she isn't.
