Just shopping in a small shop a coloured lady asked me to get her some kitchen towels from the top row, which I did, joking "is it because I is tall?" and she went "Oh my God you're Jonathan King" and did ten complimentary minutes on how she had loved my TV shows and my music and ended up by saying "what are you doing these days?".

The Vile Pervert incident had totally passed her by.

More common than the media would like to think.

I doubt if it passed her by, more likely she couldn't care about it. You 'did your time' and it wasn't as if young children were involved - so who does care anymore - except of course for the media who will never let either you, or anyone else forget.

JK is right and the tabloids often fool themselves as to their genuine influence. They are the emperor with no clothes.

People do have short memories but even more so today..with the internet etc...information overload.

the tragic part is that if politicians stood up to tabloids the voting public would applaud them.

I agree entirely ....

Decent people have a decent attitude.

All those going on about "paedos" and "perverts" are probably also organising their next abortion.

That's awesome JK, normal people don't care about the past and prefer to overlook false media stories.

Where did you shop today then ?

Walking back from getting Baby Car MOT'd (it passed with flying colours - never fails) and dropped into a newsagent/multi purpose store to get the papers. Yes I still prefer to read them on physical sheets.
