Believe me, Ricky, they don't believe this. It is just not true. Perhaps a small number of men in Devizes think that industrial injuries are amusing. Even that is probably over-generalising.
It is NOT a cultural phenomenon in the UK. And it is noticeable that there has not been a rush of UK members agreeing with the original poster. That tells us something.
Personally, I entirely agree with you.
