I don't, but if you are that worried about "getting caught" maybe don't tell the Times?

The essence of Liverpool to me. This fabulous city welcomed me, and even though I was on the back foot, I fought hard and made a successful career in theatre, photography and community arts. There are opportunities there if you grasp them. Liverpool really is a city of dreams.
Well. This is turning into a moral panic. Maybe if we had career paths with stuff like, I don’t know, job security, fixed hours, decent pay, and competent management, young people would be more enthusiastic about the idea of exchanging their time and effort. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
