This is ridiculous...

They suspend him for taking extra croutons and have to postpone three brain surgeries because of it! That really is just plain stupid.

Stealing croutons is not cool. Croutons = very good. Stealing them means someone else gets less. How can you trust someone to cut at a brain if he can't handle his urge to take away something so valuable?

Heh. If he works for the NHS, I'll be surprised if they were able to get croutons in the first place.

Yes. That's why I posted it, to see how you guys would react and make sure I'm not crazy. This is so ridiculous. BRAIN SURGERIES needed to be postponed because the man took some extra CROUTONS!!!!!

Well, the hospital obviously has it's priorities down. One package or croutons is magnitudes more valueable than patients payng for brain surgery.

croutons never caught on with me. I usually order soup at restaurants, but i occasionally go for a caesar salad and I expressly ask to leave the croutons off..

They might have been afraid he'd get crouton crumbs in somebody's brain. I think it was a wise decision.

Just to prove how screwed up the British legal system is --> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3561555.stm
Meanwhile there's another news story about a guy who had a few drinks, decides to drive home and use his mobile at the same time, he swerves into the opposite lane and crashes into a car coming the other way, killing 2 people and seriously injuring 2 others, he's walked away with a 5 year ban on driving and a &1500 fine rather than any sort of custodial sentence.

It's unlikely that the patients would be paying for brain surgery.
