If the accountant is unable to ascertain when he stood on the grape, in the store or in the car park, then clearly he was walking without due care and attention. He should have been aware of the sudden loss of grip and been able to control his balance. I would question if he was under the influence of the grape (in liquid form) and tell him to stop gripe and thank his lucky stars he didn't fall down the pears. :)

Its not funny.
Health and safety is a serious concern
Imagine the consequences if he had fallen on the side of his head.
Could have ended up with a cauliflower ear.

Maybe he should try slipping on a banana skin next time?...Let's hope the judge is a practical one who can see beyond the usual excuse for elfin safety..

Without wishing to sound 'ageist'. He claims it affects his ability to play football. At 55 I think it may be due to more than a slip on a grape somehow.

It is possible that he trod on the grape in the store but didn't slip until outside especially if the ground outside was wet. Good that he didn't win though as that gives message to others who might be tempted to sue that you don't aways win.

This thread about grape jokes is becoming unraisinable, the consequences of the accident could have been graves. Chiraz eggs is eggs the guy will end up with a chip on his shoulder after ending up with swede FA.
That's shallot for now ......_
(I can't believe I just did that).

I'm appalled by the humour and pathetic comments being voiced here. What indifference to the other side of the story, What about the grape? Crushed and abandoned, treated like something you wouldn't want to find on the sole of your shoe. £300K is nothing to what's coming . You want to see real compensation claims? Watch the papers...

I've heard Max Clifford is taking up the claim of the grape involved. Stand by for a storm of publicity as perdicted by Redmond, including a centrepage spread in the new catalogue by 'Fruit of the Loon'...
