Pity poor dogsbody Baldrick who shipped those HMRC CDs through the general internal mail system without consigned service. And what if tracking was used, as was the case with the make-good shipment using the same service? Once a deliveryman has your £ Billion(s) worth CDs, …he has your £ Billion(s) worth CDs!

Kudos to you, Sir Richard, for resisting the headline “Explosive TNT loss!”

I have come to the conclusion that I actually have nothing that is secret from whomever wishes to take it. Yes, I still shred my documents; however, since I come from the era when Social Security numbers were used for employee, medical insurance and school IDs, I don’t know why I bother.
