I like this bit:
Those aged over 45 remain decent people

Poor Miss D noooo: I always felt she was a bit dodgy like.

Actually Tony Blair is well over 45 so that statement isn't strictly true.
I was discussing this honesty business with my daughter a couple of days ago. We both agreed that if we found money in the street we would keep it but if the money was in a wallet or purse then we would hand it or return it.

I thought the Essex test was flawed. When I was 7 I recall finding a cig lighter in the street. The old metal sort. My dad and I took it to the cop shop and a month later a constable returned it to me at our house as unclaimed. As a student in London I found £50 in the street. My annual grant income was £650. I took it to the cop shop. No one claimed it, and when I went to pick it up I found a collecting box for the Police Benevolent Fund in front of me. I ignored it.
Subsequently my experiences with the plod became less than happy: questioned when hitchhiking, having my bags searched (on one occasion one containing all my girlfriend's dirty laundry which I was politely taking to a launderette), stopped for having long hair etc etc.
I cannot drop litter (early training) so my pockets and car are constantly full of shite.I tend to confront ignorant sods who engage in littering.
Did you hear this?

Coincidentally I had a letter from Chris Huhne yesterday asking if I wanted to save munny on my heating bills ::)

YEs. Get the bastard to pay them for you cussing: cussing:

"Dear Chris Huhne,
Thank you for your letter regarding my heating bills. So, how does that work then?
If i read it right you want me to invest in some insulation and pass the bill, when it arrives, to someone else. I'm not sure if that's entirely proper; I mean it would be a bit like going out for a meal and then passing the bill off as expenses, or perhaps if I got a speeding ticket and asked my partner to say she was driving.
Is that what you mean?"

Mr C and I were talking about this on the way home today. We are getting closer to a precipice every day. Unless something radical is done starting at the top we will drop off the edge and when that happens I think we will spiral into civil war and in a way I really do hope that is what happens. We are supposed to live in a democratic country and yet we have no voice. Banghead
Oh and littering is one of my pet hates too. cussing:
