This thread may be a bit heavy and is a spin of from the "Tory Quits over 42 day" started by Pable1513.

Do you worry that Big brother is watching us through our normal daily transactions and has access to all our info.

I refuse to worry over something I have no control over Sparrow.

We all have to some degree access to other peoples information - we do it on here looking up rellies - I wonder if they would mind we are looking lol. Sorry, hope I do not sound too flippant did not mean to. :)

Harp strings no you did not sound flippant. People get their knickers in a twist over big brother issues.

Carrying an id card no big issue there quite a few people who do.
