It might be an easy read ... but at 34 pages it's a long read too.   I will look to pull out some of the headline and apply them as forum banners for a while.

There are - amazingly - sixty five graphics from the easy read on the top of the forum ... should change for each page you load offering a nugget of advice.  Some will be a little out of context ...

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
