Luckily we in Britain are mostly sane.

No we're not. We've just been told that, due to health & safety rules,
we are no longer allowed to carry hot drinks between one room and
another "unless in a suitable lidded insulated container"!
And since they moved our staff workroom so that it is no longer adjacent
to the staffroom, and only the staffroom has water and a boiler, we have
no choice but to obtain "suitable lidded insulated containers."

Sheer madness.

I don't think so - especially with young children around.

The last time I taught in a First School - when I was a 'proper'
teacher - some 16 years ago, we had a rule that no hot drinks were to
be carried around the school during school hours.

I think hot fluids and the unpredictability of young children is a
miaxture that could have very nasty consequences.

Imagine if you spilt a hot drink over a child...........what would be
the legal upshot of that?

No, I disagree, and I'm normally no lover of bull*** bureaucracy.

I think in this case it makes perfect sense.
