It always amuses me as to people's proclivity to readily discuss someone else's business with a third party. It starts at a very young age. I use to drive school buses (as well as scheduled services) and the primary school kids were forever informing me of some sort of mischief or unacceptable behavior (as they saw it) of others. It manifests itself later in adults too. Occasionally, I have been told something in confidence and sworn to secrecy; which was rarely a problem for me owing to my lack of interest or memory failure. However, it was almost inevitably the case that the 'secret' was barely contained for more than twenty four hours by other means.
