Re: What surprises you the least?

I can't understand how grown men can be so stupid, once it's on the internet it's every-bodies and anybodies.
How a man so stupid could make a fortune in banking just shows how easy and bent banking must be.

Mind you, back in the late fifties I made the same mistake using the technology of the day.
The love of my life and I couldn't see each other every night(too much homework) so between doing homework we would write each other love letters, ending in the usual BURMA, SWALK etc. They'd be fairly innocent I suppose but quite fervent.
A nice lad in a lower year used to deliver them for us, he lived near her.
I should have known what would happen- stupid!
It was a long while before he admitted he and his mates used to take them straight home, steam them open, read them and reseal them before delivery. Well, not many of us had telly then and this was their soap opera. I thought of killing him but didn't quite.
I probably still wore Paisley pyjamas in those days too but luckily I didn't have a camera.
