It was at his request, I met her sometime later and she was geniunely still distraught about it. I also had the chance to hear her side of the story. You still have a point, I'm opening myself up to libel and I'm not sure it adds

At 15 I was writing business-plans, I attended a young-entrepeneur event held by the BBC and was selected as a finalist (nothing came of it). I also worked for my parents. So, there wasn't much opportunity to learn the lesson that scum
