Evolving etiquette #2
We walked past the newer 'shrine' on Saturday morning, and had a closer look. I now have another question. Why do people put in them what they do?
a) Flowers. OK, that's what we expect - they're a symbol of the fleeting nature of life.
b) A reproduction road sign, for Stamford Bridge. OK, that has meaning, the dead teenager was a Chelsea fan.
c) Cans of Red Bull and bottles of Lucozade. Hmm, well, there is a long history of libatory drinks, and given the driver was apparently drunk, alcoholic ones would have been inappropriate.
d) A shrink wrapped ball of string.
Yes, you read that right. A ball of string, still in its polythene wrapping.
Perhaps that last one just fell out of a shopping bag while the owner was laying something else.

On the other hand, so long as you're logged in as you, LJ shouldn't be showing you that dialog, because it should know you're over 14.
I think the LJ servers may be failing to handle cookies correctly on occasion, because it often does the same to me with other people's journals.
