Punch and Judy man told "that's not the way to do it" by health and safety officials
Health and safety killjoys targeted Punch and Judy man Glyn Edwards to tell him his famously feisty puppets could not hold sticks.
The 68-year-old claimed bureaucrats told him the toy truncheon might offend the “vulnerable”.
So the veteran entertainer has made tiny hi-viz jackets for his puppets, mocking the pedantic penpushers.
First he created a “Mr Jobsworth” character who would meet his end being pushed through Mr Punch’s sausage machine. His fluorescent vest would produce a string of “hi-viz sausages”.
“Then I thought, ‘Actually, I could have two puppets.” Glyn said.
“Mr Punch has a warm up because you don’t want to start right away.
“So I came up with two health and safety officers who try and make everything safe.”
