    Time to brighten up perhaps.

    I know Directors of FTSE100 companies who decorate their office with piglet figurines and you can find more than one pig collectors club on the internet.

    Not sure though whether pigs did figure in OP's offending code. Perhaps they could enlighten us.

    My randomly generated and straight from the box EE router password last year was Greed-evil22. I guess some people could be a bit miffed at that, but not sure its bad enough for a complaint.

    But I soon changed it. Just like I changed my router name to "Police Surveillance Van" :)

    I received a banknote this week with 58008 in the serial number. I noticed when I happened to look at the note upside down that these numbers look a little bit like a word that people sometimes use to refer to a female body part. Imagine my embarrassment! I had to use this banknote when there were children present.

    I have contacted the Bank of England to complain and to ask that they take steps to ensure this doesn't happen again. Like the OP, I don't want to discuss whether I'm overreacting.

    Sorry, I still don't see anything to be embarrassed about.

    That would of course make perfect sense, why didn't I think of that!
