that they got caught. What is the betting that no person will be found guilty, any more than has happened with the banks failures.

Moved said overchaNged not overchaRged. Does that change the finer points of the argument ? I've neither bought nor purloined a paper clip in my life but they arrive in documents by legion and I recycle everything. I was given a "good" pen by my fiancé for Xmas and have never bought one since(bar refills) and yet I can easily wander around the house collecting pens from an astonishing variety of companies all unsolicited . Honesty is the best policy. Once about to get off the bus without paying as the conductor was upstairs and the then boyfriend told me off and put down the fare. He is now DH and a very good man .

Stansgran You are indeed correct and it does indeed change the argument but only slightly. I apologise for misreading overchanged as overcharged but would point out a) there is no such verb as overchange and b) Movedalot presumably read overcharged in my response as her newly coined word overchanged. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun.) My comment about overcharging remains valid.

Movedalot I apologise for misreading your post but I shall point out that, given your frequent moans about being misunderstood and misrepresented, it is ill advised to invent a new word, especially one so easily confused with an existing word, when posting.
