Title: New use for train Post by: grahame on February 26, 2010, 17:36:13 I've just received a (spam) email with the following subject line ...
Quote Train to become a photographer. Am I the only one to thing that trains should not be redeployed in this way but should carry on moving people around the country? ;) Title: Re: New use for train Post by: Chris from Nailsea on February 26, 2010, 17:44:11 ;D
More silliness on the subject of photography and trains - from the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8539361.stm): Quote Mall bans father from photographing son in Sunderland A father was told he was not allowed take pictures of his four-year-old son at a Sunderland shopping centre because of fears he could be a paedophile. Kevin Geraghty-Shewan, of Kent, was challenged by a security guard at The Bridges after photographing his son Ben on a children's train ride. He was told he could not prove Ben was his son and later quizzed by a police officer called to the centre. ::) Title: Re: New use for train Post by: devon_metro on February 26, 2010, 19:00:39 LOL

Um, maybe ask Ben who the man with him is. Get the answer "Daddy" in all likelihood. Like you Btline, I got a bit angry at the sheer idiocy of this security guard. Title: Re: New use for train Post by: inspector_blakey on February 27, 2010, 22:46:42 Whilst the stupidity of the security guard was bad enough, the actions of the attending plods almost seem worse to me: they're supposed to be well trained to deail with situations like this in which, surely, it was blindingly obvious that the kid was with his dad!
