Ties are just too damned dangerous

From BBC:

More than 400 people have joined a group on Facebook, demanding that traditional ties be restored at McAuley Catholic High School in Doncaster.

Schools across the UK are said to be switching ties over safety fears.

The protesters said the move was a “pathetic waste of money”. The school is closed for the summer holidays and no-one was available for comment.

Heh. What more can I say ? I still think bicycle helmets are stupid.
