Earlier last evening Wilt was contacted by an old friend. He said, “I cannot believe it – now the woman thinks I have some lost or stolen file!” The woman of course is Mrs C – a woman of some infamy on these pages and, it seems, most of the world (including the Milk Marketing Board).

Grasping a large cider I ask (knowing the answer) what fucking file? “The Happen File” he states. And what has that got to do with you, I ask? “Fuck all, I last saw it in 2002 but it seems to have been stolen or gone missing” says my friend? See earlier article here: http://regulatorwatch.co.uk/2010/02/information-commissioner/

Taking a (large) gulp of cider I ask was it stolen by you, do you have it? A firm “NO” was the reply. And so what is the problem, I ask?

It emerged that a certain PC from Banbury was investigating a lost (stolen) file from the offices of the former Happen Foster Care offices in the same town – Happen Fostercare is now run by Fostering Solutions. They had received an inspection visit from Ofsted wanting to inspect a file on Mrs C but, alas, it could not be found. It is understood that Mrs C had asked Ofsted to investigate – why is unclear. Why Ofsted, even more unclear. Purpose – Gawd knows!

Anyway, continuing:

In response to friend, so you aint got the file? “Never seen it since 2002” was the reply. Any reason you would want it? “Mmmmm, possibly for evidence, but no not really, no” Does XXXXXXX have it? “I do not think so”

OK so what is the problem? “Well, now you ask that, nothing really – I just get pissed off time and time again being harassed by this woman [Mrs C] – what is it with here?”

OK, I say to my friend, (another very large gulp of cider) take it from me she is either mad or evil – I am aware of your view on that. Either way the woman has few places to go and just let her get on with it. The woman has no merit, competence or sympathy with any agency I know, and as you know I have contacts with most.

“Is she on your website (www.regulatorwatch.co.uk) daily as she is mine.” Asks the friend. Oh yes, thrice daily mate (my turn to get a round) and it seems she has a new toy – a Smart Phone. The T-Mobile network if I recollect correctly – I clocked her immediately. My mate replied “so did I”

And so the saga goes on – we suggest Mrs C gets a life (even a job) other than sitting at her (various) pc’s and laptops and newly discovered smart phone – did you know using looked after young people pc’s is not vey professional?  Bad girl!

Anyway we commend our good friend for keeping us alert and wish him god fortune in his new ventures as set out in his press release on his website. Good luck mate.

Meantime, another pint of your best cider – Mmmmmm very refreshing, oh and a pint of ………….

How comes I get most of the rounds of drinks? I need to reflect. Seems the Salty Dog is giving away clues to my wealth – I keep telling the bastard I am poor but says otherwise to my drinking mates. Salty Dog could become best mates with the RSPCA lost dogs home – not really, she would be better off with alcoholics anonymous!

So, we have Mrs C complaining to the ICO, Osted and now her former agency about a file being missing – we thought she was anxious to have every file (except those in her house and in the passion of others she has passed them to e.g. the press) file otherwise cleansed. Very confusing! It does however explain why fostering solutions were all over Regulator Watch like a rash a few weeks ago.
