When Gartocharn Primary School In Dunbartonshire,


secured the services of the London Olympics chief starter for their own sports day,
the school must have thought it would be an extra special occasion, the starter Alan Bell who has clocked up over 25,000 race starts in his career and even famously false-started world's fastest man Usain Bolt at the athletics World Championships last year, arrived ready to go, but wait a second, where is Health & Saftey when you need them? - there they are, West Dunbartonshire Council, the council members decided that the gunshot might frighten the kids,
so they came up with an ingenious idea, play a recording of a starting pistol on an iPod, I can only think that West Dunbartonshire Council's annual Guy Fawkes night must be an evening to forget, 'can we have silent fireworks please ? we do not want to upset the kids!'.
