The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

b3ta IT bodsPerhaps the good b3ta overlords can tell us just how easy it is to read all the gaz messages we b3tards all send to each other every day, and how much of a laugh they get from doing so?
I have started to be more careful about what I send in e-mails ever since I realised a few years back how insecure the system is.
Here's another science-y factoid - I think Mythbusters tried this, but there's a virtually negligible risk of igniting fuel vapours at a petrol station using a mobile phone (unless you rob two boy scouts and rub their phones together very vigorously). I did hear that the real reason the petrol station operators don't want you using your mobile while filling up is in case the transmissions interfere with the pump electronics and you get more fuel than you pay for.
I find this hard to believe too though, as I would imagine the designers would put in good shielding to prevent this.
