For the record, it's not worth getting married for the tax breaks, they don't exist. RE: The running in schools thing, that's not so much the state, as the fear of the teachers about what could happen to them should an accident happen. Mrs Keef was in a school last week, and told me the previous head teacher was in jail as he had allowed a child to jump off a couple of steps (nothing compared to what they'd get up to in a park playground), the child had done so, fallen, cracked it's head and died. The head is in for manslaughter I believe. Sorry, but whilst it seems ludicrous to stop kids running around, I think I'd consider it if it meant me going to jail when 2 of them bumped in to each other and a bone was broken.
