You couldn't make it up.

Haven't had one of these for a bit, and this particular story is over a year old, although I missed it at the time.  Anyway Butlins have apparently ruled that bumper cars on their sites are not allowed to bump!  The reason given, you will hardly be surprised to learn is "health and safety", although it will equally not come as any surprise to learn that the real reason is the fear of being sued if anyone were to complain of being hurt as a result of being bumped.  And apparently it's not just Butlins - many funfairs are taking a similar line - oh for the innocent fun days of my childhood!
