Nanny state ...

After living in the US and seeing what everyone gets away with there, it's quite amusing to see how over-regulated Australia has become in an effort to keep us safe.

Manly Harbour used to be home to an outrageous 'Wonder Pool' with big wheels, slides and a diving platform where you could test your courage. Now these signs are plastered all over the wharf to discourage anything so death-defying as diving into the water.

The extras show another sign on the wharf with the rules imposed by the Fun Police, and also an old image of high dives in an earlier era.
