MPs, which ones I'm not sure, have advised spy chiefs to recruit middle-aged mothers because they are "emotionally intelligent" and skilled at relationships, a bit of a sweeping assumption there. Nevertheless The Intelligence and Security Committee have advised that GCHQ should start advertising on the Mumsnet website. MUMSNET!!!!! surely many there will fall into "young mums category". There must be a few here on GN still on the "middle aged spectrum" - well upper end, just!
I always prided myself, with my own children, of being able to sniff out a lie at ten paces and proved that theory on many occasions. What always disappointed me with mine ( boys) they just weren't as good as I was at the same age in being economic with the truth, yes I was a sublime A* liar, not a serial one, just good at covering my tracks when required! Any GNs out there think you have what it takes to make a good Mata Hari and what special qualities would you bring to the job?
