There Was An Outbreak Of Common Sense Reported In The UK A Few Days Ago,

parents had been told that taking pictures of their kids at sports days was against the law, but in staggering admission, the Office of the Information Commissioner has said this interpretation of the law is simply wrong, many headmistresses like Andrea Rice said 'vulnerable pupils' needed to be protected, earlier this month, the Mail reported how parents at Mrs Ethelston's Church of England Primary School were upset after being told they could not take pictures of their own children at sports day, the village school in Uplyme, Devon, cited changes to child protection legislation for the ban on cameras, what a complete load of nonsense! this guidance can now be used by parents and grandparents to challenge 'barmy' rulings relating to the upcoming school sports day season, Deputy Information Commissioner David Smith said: 'We recognise that parents want to capture significant moments on camera, photographs taken for the family photo album are exempt from the Act and citing the Data Protection Act to stop people taking photos or filming their children at school is wrong.' common sense at last, my secret is out! in a previous post I mentioned that I had seen a sign marking the site of a proposed Filipino style food shop, well my dyslexia finally caught up with me and my spell checker did not pick it up, it should have been Jollibee not the way I spelled it! oh! the shame, the shame!
