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.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

      The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
