Re:
While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around.
The Union of Shepherds has complained that it breaches health and safety regulations to insist that shepherds watch their flocks without appropriate seating arrangements having been determined. Therefore all employers of all such shepherds must make benches, stools and orthopaedic chairs available with effect from Christmas Eve. The Comfort Committee will determine which model is appropriate to which shepherd, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation or religious belief. Shepherds have also requested that, due to the inclement weather conditions at this time of year, they should watch their flocks via CCTV cameras from centrally heated shepherd observation huts. HSE commends this proposal to shepherding management both in the UK and overseas. In addition the angel of the Lord is reminded that before shining his/her glory all around he/she must ascertain that all shepherds have been issued with glasses capable of filtering out the harmful effects of UVA, UVB and, especially, glory.
The HSE wishes all its readers a Not too merry Christmas, within appropriate guidelines.
