John Self @john-self.bsky.social · 04/10/2026School photos must be one of the last great rip-offs in the digital age. Eighteen quid for four 4x6 photos that you could print out in Boots or Tesco for less than 20p each! Plus, who has an optical drive these days to pop a CD into? 5141
Kat Ellis @katellis37.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You're not paying for the prints though, you're paying for the photo. That's why I always buy the digital download. 000
Another Iain @anotheriain.bsky.social · 04/10/2026A hangover from the days (aka my childhood) when some families didn't have a camera and those who did might take 2-3 rolls of 24 photos a year, so the school photos - individual and class - were precious. Conversely, during my daughter's time they stopped taking class photos, child safety I presume. 000
grantrintoul.bsky.social @grantrintoul.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Not to mention the fact that all the organisation and much of the labour is undertaken by the schools! 000
johngirvin.bsky.social @johngirvin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Ours come as a download, thankfully. I could still handle a CD but I’m not normal. 000
KateW @kateweb.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yup, hugely expensive. And pack A should obviously be a download, not a CD. 000
