A Coke advertisement featuring Duffy, the singer, cycling in the street without lights or a reflective jacket has drawn 22 complaints.
The advert shows the singer cycling through the night along quiet streets, singing with passers by joining in.
Thankfully, the Advertising Standards Authority rejected all the compaints.
"Because of the fantasy context we concluded that the ad did not condone behaviour prejudicial to health and safety."
How about we get back to 'real' health and safety now?

Be part of the solution
I attended the launch of the HSE's new strategy, 'The Health and Safety of Great Britain: Be part of the solution' yesterday.
Judith Hackitt (Chair of the HSE), James Purnell (Secretary of State for Work and Pensions), Brendan Barber (TUC General Secretary) and representatives from the LGA and EEF were all in attendance, but apart from the rather attractively-designed literature, there wasn't much to report on.
A previous article by HSW on the strategy told us all we needed to know, and it seems the three-month consultation didn't change very much. However, we'd still like to know what you think of the new strategy; add your comments in the discussion forums.
The strategy is available to download here.
