New website TextMeOuttaHere.co.uk will, for a pound, send its users a text message at a prearranged time to help them lie and cheat their way out of an awkward situation. Having seen “over 1000 excuses sent in its first month”, founder Emma Kane was moved to say: “Britain's mobiles phone users are obviously a devious lot.” Sneak, for one, resents this kind of sweeping statement. Given that market penetration of mobiles in the UK is roughly 100 percent, what Kane is actually saying is that everyone in the country is a devious liar - including you, Sneak, your spouse or partner, your best friend and your vicar. That’s slander, surely.
