Residents living near a stream measuring fewer than three inches deep are asking why a water company installed a life-saving ring next to it.
The orange lifebuoy has been put up alongside a brook in Fetcham, Surrey, which, accordingly to locals, is barely deep enough to cover the top of their shoes if they walk into it.
But Thames Water deemed the life-saving equipment necessary after doing a recent 'health and safety' review which suggested safety precautions were needed beside the brook which, even after heavy rain, barely reaches six inches deep.

I can see a way that this could make sense...
Do any government bureaucrats live a long this "stream" ? I'm sure they could figure out a way to drown in three inches of water; the life preserver might come in handy for them...

That or a relative has the concession for providing safety devices along "waterways" in the county.
