  Of course, where did I say otherwise? Especially as the scheme is optional. But it may have made some people think about how often they go under - this would generally be a good thing.
  
  "England is the most observed society in Europe!"
  is it? How sweet. And this is relevent because... ?
  
  "To see something like fingerprinting being used to control the amount of tanning you do is in my opinion (even if optional) way over the top."
  And in mine too. I never said otherwise.
  
  "Just one other thing that has to be repeated here. The sun studio firm bringing in this technology, has stated that the programm they use is completely safe. That is just plain stupidity to say something like that in this day & age of cyber crime. I would give the program they are using at the most 6 months & it will rendered useless because it has been hacked!! "
  Oh no! Then the terrorists will know who in Brighton likes to get tanned! I can see why this would be a massive cause for concern.
  You make the point above that if someone really wants to get a tan more often than they should, they will find away.
  In that case I think it's safe yo say that it's many times more likely that if someone really wants your fingerprints and/or credit card details, there are easier ways to get them than hacking a tanning shop.
  
  "Incidently, what are the full facts? You seem to be in the know, then tell us. Put things right just do not write such things without writing something to back up your statement!"
  This is a bit weird. I have commented on the story above (which we can all read) and then the Tanning Shop's own response to the original story.
  What important facts are missing that are vital for you to get a more 'complete' view? It's not really that complex a story.
  Do you work for the Mail or something?

  You left me & maybe others the impression that the Argus for all its woes, had reported misleading & not all the facts relating to this article.
  I do not waste my time with the Mail. You though obviously do. So therefore I am not surprised with your attempt at answering my comments sensibly.
  You should think about a future in politics. Your slippery answers & sarcasam would fit in there very well."
