ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

Me too. The shame...And we genuinely did believe the grinning twat as well...
Enzyme - spending money on schools & hospitals isn't theft. Wasting staggering amounts of cash in the process isn't theft, just sheer incompetence (PCT re-organisation, GP salary negotiation to name but two). In fact there was a B3tan on a previous QOTW who's friend enjoyed a lucrative job in a very well funded dept and had no idea what she did.
However, what really gets on my man-tits isn't the incompetence and endless spin. It's almost de rigeur for a govt, although the current mob are excelling themselves.
It's the way that the "Schools and Hospitals" mantra is wheeled out every time: it's almost as good as the race card for stopping all debate, and hides the massive black hole that is the Benefits budget.
Elton mode off.
