Jenny Bailey was barred from planting daffodils outside a tax office on health and safety grounds. Gardening fan Jenny, in her 60s, wanted to brighten up the patch of land with some bulbs she had spare. She was stunned when officials vetoed the idea because she might injure herself and sue them. Jenny, who has planted flowers in her neighbourhood for 30 years, said yesterday: “It’s crazy. What is the world coming to?” Green-fingered Jenny is regularly employed by her local council in Stroud, Gloucs, to spruce up the town. “I don’t know how they think I am going to injure myself,” said said. With 30 years experience, it’s insulting.” The Sun 27/12/04.
