When it turned out that Prescott had Bulimia, there were a lot of cruel and unnecessary jokes about his weight. Not all eating disorders make you look like a catwalk model. Many sufferers have nervous disorders, (have you ever noticed how often he blinks?), and attacks of depression can make you angry and aggressive. It's not just because he's some "Welsh/Northern bloke".
And, so, he had an affair. So did John Major/Edwina Currie. Unfortunately they have lives in the spotlight, so they're not supposed to do things like that. Well, it happens to thousands of 'ordinary' people too, but less attractive folk, such as Prescott and I are so gobsmacked when someone likes us, that it's hard to resist, I guess?
No, I've never been married or had an affair, but if the opportunity arose, who knows what I'd do in the spur of the moment.
I imagine that there are a lot of arguments after works Christmas parties!
