McG I certainly agree that the mere shagging of a maid, say, wouldn't raise eyebrows after everything else we've heard. But maybe Sherlock's on the right tack. His link goes to an item that certainly makes interesting reading in light of the present court wrangle.

Guest Annon (I'll spell it your way): the inference from your post is that BT has confirmed a tap on your line. Is this so? A few years ago I was fairly well informed on this subject, and though the technology has obviously improved vastly, I am always sceptical about claims that lines are tapped for trivial reasons, simply because there are vastly more efficient ways of gathering intelligence.
