Overheard secretsWhen I was a barman, I stood by polishing a glass as a couple had a hushed argument two feet away about what they were going to do now she was pregnant. The bloke promised to leave his wife, but subsequent hushed arguments revealed that he did not. What have you overheard?

I suppose the radio scanner stories have reminded me of one moreback when mobile phones were indeed bricks and cost a pound a minute ( £2 a minute 'in real terms', today's money) and were analogue in nature, meaning anyone with a scanner that could cover 850-950ish MHz could listen in. I didn't have one myself to begin with but was able to borrow one from work. Scan scan scan blah blah blah scan scan scan 'can you pick him up from his piano lesson this week?' etc. blah blah ooh hang on? Sounds like some drug dealers! Exciting listening ahead...
'You got any stuff man?'
'Nah'
'Come on man, you got any stuff'
'I got nuffing, man'
'Ah come on'
'Nuffin. Tell you what I as got though'
'Ai?'
'Audi coop.'
'No way!'
'Yap. I was at the lights, right and this Golf came up to me and the lights go green and I MELTED him.'
'....yeah?'
'I MELTED him'.
'.........yeah?'
'I MELTED HIM'.
'......Bye.'
That's worth paying £2 a minute to impart this VITAL information.
