School tie ban in the UK

Loose ties - Edirne, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

I am moving this photo forward on my photostream to comment on the fact that the BBC has reported that due to 'Health and Safety' concerns, ties are being banned from some schools in England, to be replaced by clip-on ties.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think this is complete madness. Unfortunately, it is typical of what is going in that country over the North Sea. I hate it!
