BBC News - Diners sign Christmas pud waiver

A central London restaurant has insisted that diners sign an indemnity form before eating Christmas puddings, some of which contained silver pieces.

Some 350 diners at High Timber signed the waiver before eating the desserts, which contained silver charms.

It read: "I absolve High Timber from blame should I come to harm including a chipped tooth, or any injury as a result of swallowing it."

Restaurant owner Neleen Strauss said it had "created a bit of a stir".

Idiots! The waver wouldn't protect them should someone INHALE a charm, and that, from personal experience, can be much more damaging.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
