How in the world did your local Education Authority reach the absurd conclusion that interactive human analemmatics are “dangerous for children”. Do they outlaw hopscotch too?John Carmichael The answer John, is that over here we still have councils which are managed by those who cannot think and whose managers are quite able to demonstrate their affliction by declaring anything a heath and safety issue or a practice that might offend minorities or both. Rarely are these ever shown to be valid of course yet few seem to learn. Still, we must look on the bright side. We actually had a success the other day when a van driver was reinstated after his council employers had earlier sought to sack him for keeping (and displaying) his Palm Sunday Cross in his van.
