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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      The local councillor in question took home £50,172.71 in allowances and expenses in 23/24 on top of his full time salary as a teacher (which includes several weeks paid holiday). https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-12/Member allowances 2023-24 - individual figures.pdf   I'm sure many hard working people at Sainsbury's would be delighted to make quite so much money.

      Did anything actually crash into a pedestrian? Hope they are ok if so.

      I don't care particularly for McAsh, the Greens or their drugs policy, but this "Greens will feed your children crack at school" stuff from the Daily Mail is just hysterical nonsense. Labour should be ashamed for seeding it - and the Mail doesn't know any better. Meanwhile, I can't remember the exact Tweet I saw recently but it was something like "some people who believe all politicians are out to enrich themselves only say that because they can't imagine serving their community for its own sake". The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos.

      That’s awful - I really hope no one is seriously injured. It might be worth updating the title so it clearly reflects what happened: a driver crashed into a pedestrian. The way we describe collisions matters, because it shapes how people understand responsibility and risk. If a cyclist hit someone, it would sound odd to say “bike hit pedestrian” without mentioning the rider - yet when cars are involved, the driver often disappears from the wording. Using accurate language isn’t about blaming anyone before the facts are known; it’s simply about recognising that vehicles don’t act on their own. Drivers have agency, and it would be helpful if the wording reflected that.
