I'm intrigued to know how! lol<br /><br />"Instead they have been asked to mime the throwing action instead, and have hats added digitally to the photo after. Oddly enough, it will cost an extra £8 to have a digital mortar board added to a photo!"<br /><br />Kerching! Call me cynical, but I can't help thinking that this might be the real reason!<br /><br />I hope the students carry on with their tradition and figuratively say "Up yours!" to the elf'n'safety fascists!Lord of Atlantisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-74020315239297480652016-05-19T10:51:42.025+01:002016-05-19T10:51:42.025+01:00Why does it all too often seem to be a "spoke...Why does it all too often seem to be a "spokeswoman" making these daft announcements?Tonk.noreply@blogger.com
