On The Fiddle

The British people are on the fiddle to the tune of at least £1 million daily - according to a recent survey. Office workers pinch the stationery, supermarkets cheat their customers, even bus conductors and deckchair attendants iron out used tickets, reissue them, and pocket the profits. Some of us call it the perks of the trade: others say it's a symptom of a corrupt and immoral society. Certainly no job seems to be without its perks: fiddling extends from the workman pocketing his paintbrush to the managing director having his home painted by the firm's maintenance man. Tonight we learn just who is on the fiddle - and how. And we ask if anything can be done about it.
