I was sent this link via a work colleague http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6302191.stm
I initially laughed until i thought about how i would feel if my son had came home from school complaining of sore eyes!

It did not stop my colleague then photocopying his face with hilarious results - but then again he knew of the risks and shut his eyes!

Complaining of sore eyes, he told his parents his face had been photocopied at school. The picture which appeared in the press clearly shows a hand holding his head in place. A doctor has diagnosed allergic conjunctivitis caused by strong light. Does this constitute assault?

And I always tell management not to have people seated near photocopiers where the light will flash in their eyes - as well as the exhaust hot dusty air entering the breathing zone.

If you need a personal picture use a camera.

So why did they even publish this?

I suggest their next headline should be "Man in danger when travelling over 20 mph" ... "Oh no, he's fine".

Bizarre.
