lol@Karma, Mrs P...although, I agree

I look back at my past, and wonder that I got this far without getting sent to prison, or worse.
I was lucky, and was removed from the area that I lived (inner city slum), and was given a second chance - I took it, and like to think that I have managed to turn myself around. I know that alot of folk aren't as lucky as me (in that respect, at least).

Yeah, I was a right bastard lol and was prime 'documentary fodder'!
I never stole of off 'people', but did pilfer from stores - and was qutie adept at it. It was only small stuff (sweets and the like), but I realise now how I would feel if someone stole off of me.

And, I agree with Johnny B...lol, those shops just ask for it sometimes.
Another kind of Karma - they put those sweets out because they hope to sell them to parents that just what to shut their kids up from whining (it's called 'below the line selling'), and it really pisses me off.
You know the senario - you're trying to get your shopping packed into carrier bags, and the kids are buzzing around those low shelves that they put by the checkout, full of sweets, picking the sweets up "can we have one of these Dad?"..."No, put them back..don't touch!"
I always make a point of saying to the checkout clerk, that I think it is wrong of the store to adopt that tactic.
