These restrictions aren't arbitrary; the cities are protecting themselves from two forms of loss/liability:
1. A few troublemakers cause damage or create a major mess - perhaps by dumping soap etc. into the fountain which may result in damage to the pumps or other equipment (apologies to Leon who did that in Bristol and we all enjoyed the resulting pictures) or leave a mess to be cleaned up. Basically, the city gets stuck with an extraordinary repair or clean up bill.
2. Somebody slips/falls or possibly drowns in the fountain and the city gets hit with a lawsuit because of someone's death or injury.
If everyone who wanted to enjoy the fountains could do so safely and responsibly, perhaps the cities wouldn't feel the need to impose any restrictions. All it takes is a few careless/irresponsible/litigious people to spoil things for everyone else.
The problem may stem from our western society which grants us the freedoms to be careless or irresponsible and file frivolous lawsuits.

In reply to Message (45103.1.2) They ARREST people for going into fountains in WESTERN EUROPE???!!!
By Batumi - Tue 06/07/10 08:18:34 GMT I'm shocked. Even in the black days of communism you would only be informed to get out of a fountain by the police in Eastern Europe. Now, there are no problems at all (as can be seen in Moscow). I am shocked to be informed, that in the so called "most free countries of the free world" like the UK and Italy, you can get arrested. In Warsaw, Poland for instance there is one fountain that's part of an old par complex and you can't bath in it, but the police will just ask you to get out. But there is no talk of arresting or even fines. And in the UK they arrest? What has this world come to... :/ |
In reply to Message (45103.1) Re:more youtubes...hey Wet Brian...whats up at T Square !!
By MK - wamtec@comcast.net Tue 06/07/10 07:12:44 GMT ....the Trafalgar Square clip is interesting.....cos it begs the question of whether political correctness or reverse discrimination is taking place in the UK. Cos the cops (wardens) at Trafalgar Square have banned people from going into the fountains since 2008....which is why Wet Brian and others gave up going to T Square.....cos the wardens and other cops started banning and arresting people if they went into the fountains (as the Italian police will do if you try to go in the Trevi fountain in Rome).
So....they stopped allowing the general public from going into the T Square fountains and placed them off limits 2 years ago.....but now I see they allow gay pride marchers to freely go into that same fountain.....do the the gay and transgender people get a free pass to go in those fountains that the rest of us don't get !!!
I am all for equality, but I am against giving preferential treatment to special interest groups of people while banning the rest of us from going in those same fountains.
Wet Brian....are you out there....maybe we should check things out again at T Square and find out if they are enforcing the ban at the fountains again, cos it seems to be an unfair system where gay people are allowed to go in a fountain, but they placed a ban on going in those fountains for the rest of the general public for the last 2 years.
