Fortunately, this is a rare occurence as a large percentage of people in London wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire (my great nan used to say that and I'm not sure what it means, actually - I wouldn't want third degree burns and a urine dousing so that's probably a good thing that most peopel wouldn't do that).<BR/><BR/>Ah, newspapers - the Londoner's paper shield.

And disclose REALLY uncomfortable facts about themselves within, oh say, three minutes.<BR/><BR/>I mean, I am a people person at heart too, but like you, I deal with people all day long - some of them rather difficult in fact - and need me time.
