I really don't see why there is all this fuss - the situation is par for the course these days, and it was handled well by Asda, I would say. I would think the star looked good and more amusing than a bare bum!

Regarding KathrynB's posts, I don't know why everyone jumps on the bandwagon every time. Yes, sometimes the posts are blunt, even aggressive, but surely instead of dragging things out, it is better just to continue the initial discussion and ignore Kathryn's post, or agree if that is the way you think.
No need for all this nit picking of wording which just causes unpleasantness and strife.

Please, Joy.

I am not "MISS" anything.

I realize that because I don't join the chorus of how proud I am to wear the MRS label, assumptions might be made. They shouldn't be.

My name is the name I was born with. It's my name. I don't need somebody else's. It has nothing to do with my marital status. And my marital status has nothing to do with pretty much anything I do in life.

You may call me Ms. B, should you feel the need.

Now what I'm suppoesd to be wrong about, I couldn't guess.


Always nice to see a voice of reason, Sue!

I have just come across this thread and I'm surprised that it's been turned into a slanging match by some.

The original poster wondered why Asda had reacted like this and Kathryn explained....calmly and sensibly, why the store probably had the policy and why with the policy in place, the staff had to abide by it.

Reading through the thread it appears as if some people replying were more interested in resurrecting old arguments than discussing this issue.

It is sad but true that society has become more suspicious of any images of children. We had someone the other evening complaining that they couldn't take photos of their own grandchildren swimming.

I think it is a shame in this particular case as I am sure the baby photo was a completely innocent joke but I suppose if the policy makes it less likely that any child could have a photo abused then it's all for the good.

Funny, Kay, we actually agreed. Don't know what bug you've got up your nose. But hey, feel free to bring nationality into it.


Here's one for you all from this side of the pond, though the other side of that very important border:


We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart -H.L. Mencken


Pretty much anything can be substituted for "religion" there, I'd say.

YOUR RIGHT stray

THATS DEFFO

SORRY MISS B YOUR WRONG

You will not get me in a postition to argue, or fall out ,I have stated my reason for my post.perhaps if you just played down your condesending attitued in that you need to explain in great detail your replies you could save your self some finger typing,,,

As most across the pond do have some common sense,


No I am not so rude as I would ever call you or anyone else simple,

Just lighten up..

well we can turn it back again surely?

lmao ann

behave, i think its turning serious no time for games
lol

and I didn't tell you what to do Kathryn, I asked you very politely what NOT to do!! big difference

childish I know, but could not resist!!! just a bit of fun to lighten things a bit!!

Ann X

OK - you're simple!!! how's that

Just your opinion, and a charming one it is too, Kay.

Here's my suggestion.

If somebody doesn't want to read all my paragraphs, avoid directing insults and assorted other personal commentary at me in a discussion thread.

Or here's another idea.

If you don't want to read all my paragraphs,

DON'T READ THEM.

Call me simple, eh?

Kathryn,

Why cant you ever answer/reply without giving a full blown detail by detail account for every god dam thing,and go on into realms of text, when a few simple words would do,this is what gets up people nose about you,you come across as condecending and like your some superior being, which of course we know no one is,,,,,,,,,thats just my opinion,

how on earth would you identify one baby's bottom from another?

Please Ann, don't tell me what to do.

No, I retract that. I don't tell you what to do. You might just want to consider following my example.

Have you had a word with Claire in Lincs? I think she needs your ministrations. I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss out on an opportunity to chide someone being GENUINELY obnoxious by posting something that consisted of NOTHING BUT personal insult, would you?

You think GR pulled that thread? I don't.


Kitty ... and anyone else with this problem ... can I just make a suggestion?

Try reading what you see for its MEANING.

If it seems to you that it makes no sense, and especially if you see my name on it, ask yourself whether you're misreading it. If it still makes no sense, ask for an explanation. Don't go running off half-cocked based on an interpretation of someone's words that makes no sense, when it's just possible that it's you misunderstanding, not the other person making no sense.

As for friendly debates with lots of points of view. You people kill me. You really think you can go onto a public forum on the internet, spray an opinion around, and NOT GET COMMENT ON IT.

Grow up, y'all.

If you do not want people to disagree with things you say, don't say them in public.

i think on behalf of the son, and call me boring
it was his 21st and the star was a lovely idea,
keep his modesty in tact

with my darling grandaughter its something im very aware of now cos theres so many cranks about,

If that picture was on a cake somebody would have to put a knife through that little bum aaah.

see ya there!

Mary that is great , just my sense of humor.&something I would have done myself,but into days society with internet and more being brought into the open with ,, dirty minded pervertes and unsavory people have ruined so much that folk are afraid to even let their child be photographed by others in a scool play or event,,,a sad sad world,
