Subject: RE: BS: Childcare Help could be illegal UK
What I want to know is this.

Which congenital imbecile was given the job of drafting this crap, and how does he/she/it come to the conclusion that, if a colleague and myself decide to swap shifts, take turns in using our cars to get to work, or look after each other's kids for identical periods, either or both of us are somehow reaping a reward.

Case 1. Swapping shifts....I take his eight hour stint today, and he takes mine tomorrow. No cash payment, equal hours worked. No reward
Perfectly legal.

Case 2. Car sharing....His car today, and mine tomorrow. No fuel payments. No reward. Perfectly legal, in fact in some cities special lanes for cars in rush hour carrying more than one person.

Case 3. Child care..... today I look after your kid for eight hours, and tomorrow you look after mine. Same scenario. No reward? Perfectly legal? Well, NO!

Please explain to me WHO GETS A REWARD?

All that changes hands is two kids.

Somebody is overusing the Whacky Weed, and it's time they were stopped.
