| Rail worker set colleague's clothes on fire: said it was common practice! Posted by ChrisB at 19:44, 23rd May 2026 |     |
I find this hard to believe and cannot find any other corroboration. I have put out feelers into the Welsh community.
From Wales Online Facebook Also on their website, but behind paywall.
A railway worker who set his colleague on fire at the end of a shift said he was fooling around and things like this are common practice at work. However the victim (not the person pictured) was left with burns to his face, chest, and stomach and spent more than a week in hospital
Interestingly, the site won't allow me to copy 'n paste any more of this article, truncating it to that above!

If you had posted this 30 years ago I might have agreed " things like this are common practice at work"
I my recent working experience whist there is "leg pulling" "banter" what is outlined in the reported incident indicates lack of / bad management
