I make no comment...
A fortnight ago ten-year-old Becky Morris from Scunthorpe sent for a Barbie doll from Ebay. `I wasn`t in when the parcel arrived,` Becky told our reporter this morning, `but the postman left a note saying he`d left it behind our blue wheelie bin. I was quite excited because I thought it was my Barbie but when I opened it all it was was a couple of those computer disc things. Anyway I put one of the discs in my computer and it said something about Inland Revenue and asked for a password. My dad was just rushing out to pick Mum up from her cleaning job and when I told him about the disc and the password he laughed and said try `taxman`. So I did and it worked but all that was on it was a load of boring names and addresses with these figures at the side of them and something called National Insurance Numbers. I put the other disc in but this was just the same so I took them down to a local car boot sale and a nice man in a white suit and black tie said it was just what he was looking for and gave me £2.50 for them...`

Crikey, Scumthorpe? All sorts of old crap turns up there - you could be right. Did the besuited guy wear lots of gold?
Enjoyed.
I was wondering if we (I'm one of the 25m) should bring a joint case. 10p each should about cover costs. All proceeds could go to the Scunthorpe regeration fund.

Who put the hope in Scunthorpe?
Very quick off the mark there, Roger. Very nicely sent up.
And these are the people that want us to trust them to set up national identity cards with even more information on us-Yikes!!
Well done

Yes, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the actual password really was 'taxman'. Sounds in keeping with the general standard of security in this case. This is a very funny piece and you got Becky's voice just right.

| PC, that is. Becky sounds brighter than the lad who obeyed the order to post the discs - or the manager who gave the order. At least she got a few bob out of the deal. |

After this latest fiasco I'm beginning to think lunatics really are running the asylum!
Enjoyed this Woody, well written.

Thanks all. Did anyone see the `Mail` yesterday of a shot inside the Washington office of the Inland Revenue where the incident happened? Lads walking round in baseball caps, desks strewn with paperwork.The only thing I didn`t see was a hoodie..but then perhaps he was on a fag break..
ID cards!...

| That's how it happened then. So what's going to happen now btw: Is the whole of Britain going to get new IDs? |
Slow boat to Amsterdam..

| You must not tell lies! They have been found. They were delivered to a house in Ilkley where they were sprayed with red paint and then decorated for Christmas with little stick on santas. Don't panic folk. Now, nobody will be able to read any information on them. |
