Do you think this would pass the Health and Safety regs in the UK?

dunno, but judging by the tourists' habit here, putting the locks seems a way to make each other a promise of eternal love.
they put them in the chains around the statues/monuments, here, like in ponte vecchio in florence.

And here was me thinking the padlocks were left behind by the scum of the earth (bike thieves).

Looks like they're actually holding the chain together in places!!!
