I'm no big user of FB but have found it useful in getting/keeping in touch with mostly extended family who I haven't seen in years.


Recently I tagged a very old family photo with a couple of the names of people who are related. It was the first time I tagged anything. Next thing I find others are tagging people in the photo (it was a big group photo)who I hadn't, which I thought was fair enough. Then a couple tagged themselves in it, even though they weren't in the picture. One was a niece and the other a cousin. I found this a bit weird.


Is this normal practice on FB if there is such a thing? I quickly found I could change my settings so it couldn't be done without my permission. It still left me a little baffled though.

She may not know, as she wouldn't get a notification that you'd removed her. However, if she tried to tag herself again, it would tell her she wasn't allowed as she'd been removed.


just tag her in it, and then she'll think you're lovely and that you wanted her to be properly included.


I put an old black & white photo of my uncle and (now deceased) aunt on their wedding day on there and tagged their kids & grandkids, some of whom live in America. It's just to draw their attention to it.


People used to have to request that they be tagged in your photo, but these days can just go ahead and add themselves.

As I found out you can change the settings so people do have to request it.

    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?
