Rugrats

Good point made on the Guardian's comment site today on the true effects of peedofil paranoia. Not that I'm ever likely to need vetting as the very idea of volunteeing for anything that involves ankle-biters fills me with an overwhelming urge to go and be physically unwell in a corner.

However back at work we are having a "bring your rugrat to the office" day - a tradition in the City of London on Xmas eve for as long as I can remember. I wonder how long this bit of pre-xmas jollity will continue before everyone in the building has to have a CRB check in case someone in Accounts Receivable was a catholic priest before joining and companies decide that'll cost too much.
