questions for the UK portion of the list

[cornerofmadness]

Working on a story set in Leicester and as many British mysteries as I watch, you'd think I know but what color is crime scene tape in England. Screaming yellow like in the States?

And does anyone know what a ward is called in Ireland, as in the Dick Grayson kind of ward. The guardians never adopted the boy but they have been caring for him for years. I wasn't sure if that sort of arrangement would be called a ward or not.

THanks!

Pretty sure police tape is blue and white.

Example:


I am in England, not Ireland, but I am pretty sure they would be called guardians, not wards. On school papers and things where it asks for a signature it will say:

Parent/Guardian:________

But it might be different in Ireland.

yeah here the 'parents' are guardians and the kids wards so maybe it's the same there.

Blue and white...okay, I wouldn't have guessed that. thanks. I appreciate the help

Oh right, yeah, sorry, that makes sense.

No problem!

Completly off topic but Duck Greyson was finally adopted by Bruce! Yeah! (don't mind me. I have a huge love for Dick Greyson).

Snort. Really, you like Dick (okay that could be better phrased)
