- A South Korea court has ruled that cab drivers can continue to have
televisions on their dashboards, despite the obvious risk of getting
into an accident. The BBC reports, "The ruling comes after a taxi
driver challenged a $507 (£311) fine imposed by the local authorities
in the capital, Seoul. The city's tortuous congestion led taxi drivers
to install new mobile TV systems in an attempt to beat boredom." [BBC]
- Scotland's family-friendly Crieff Hydro Hotel has asked that its guests leave video games at home this holiday season in an attempt to "restore traditional family values." The hotel, said to be the oldest family-run hotel in Scotland, is hosting family quizzes, Highland games and archery, sporting activities and outdoor laser quest over the holidays. We're realistic, acknowledging that teenagers may want some time away from their parents, and vice-versa, and there are plenty activities to break free and be independent with family friends or others in their peer group," says the hotel's managing editor. "We're not just offering a fun family Christmas but opportunities for our younger guests to be active, learn new skills and make new friends." [Scotland Herald]
