hard hats + grand designs

Mar 09, 2007 17 Replies

I really can't believe the incredible site of parents standing in a burnt out shell wearing hard hats while holding a baby. Do you think this was some pillock at the BBC who insisted that the adults must wear hard hats, but was fine with the baby - as there was nothing in the policy manual about filming babies in building sites?

I don't think hard hats come that small.

They are adjustable and baby's heads are almost the same size as adult heads.

Are they? I thought the un fused bones expand and get filled in later (12 months?). That was a very young baby.

Of course they're not!

Of course, some folks might not have enough to expand a baby's head so end up as what used to be called 'pinheads'.

Mary who's has to knit a new bonnet for grandbabies every few months as they've grown.

Not on my planet they aren't! Just as well for our women in labour, too!

They could have used a "Bob The Builder" hard hat, but that's a BBC programme and GD is C4.

They always seem to have very clean hard hats though, no sign of them having been used for mixing polyfilla or scooping out the cesspit.

All babys have *comparatively* big heads Which is why I said "almost"

Perhaps the Beeb will have the baby driving a jet-powered dragster in the next series?

Babies only have one head, and they're a lot smaller than adult ones.

There was a programme on C4 last Sunday about Manar Maged, a baby born with two heads.

Merely demonstrating that the average number of heads on a baby is marginally greater than 1.

Well you could jam a standard hard hat over the two heads and it would stay on.

I once used one to collect a swamr of bees when I'd run out of skeps and boxes.

That's caused by global warming caused by co2 emissions from 4x4's.
