Morrisons wifi "net nanny" software

...is a bit harsh - it won't allow Real Time Trains!

That's a bit odd (and irritating)...

Some of the strictest filters don't like discussion boards, simply because they are always changing with user-generated content.

EDIT: Misread, sorry, you meant Real Time Trains? That is indeed a bit harsh. You weren't looking up Scunthorpe station were you?

I wonder if that’s why - presumably it downloads the list of stations.

I can see stations wanting to block it as it is a way round platform number suppression, I suppose. Not supermarkets though!

The only stations in Scotland large enough for it to matter are both run by Network Rail.

Then again, at least one other supermarket... as well as one well-known discount retailer... both require staff to authorise the purchase of caffeine tablets. Caffeine... as contained in coffee etc.

Morrisons used to have a rule requiring kids to be over 16 to purchase PG-rated videos, despite their content being milder than 12-rated videos and much milder than 15-rated videos.

That sort of makes sense, because access of children to PG content is supposed to be managed by a parent/guardian (hence "parental guidance"). I see how it also doesn't, though, in the context of the other two.

That's a bit pointless when you can just get round it by using the mobile phone network itself to access the web...

It does sort of make sense, until you realise that a person who could prove they were 15 would have been sold The Terminator but not Toy Story.
