    I enjoy reading and left my book Alan Sugars autobiography “What You See Is What You Get” behind the cistern in the toilet at work.
    I went in this morning and had a good read, but when I went in a few minutes ago it was gone.
    Who in their right mind would steel a book knowing that it belonged to someone else?
    Have you ever been the victim of theft at work?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Get the fire axe and start chopping desks in half until someone owns up, screaming is really helpful at encouraging a response from a group of people.

    We have a policy that personal items are not to be left in the bathrooms.
    Maybe it's the same in your place.

    He is a hero of mine, he came from nothing and worked his way to the top, something I may try to emulate.

    Every time I leave a book in a public toilet I tear out the last page and keep it in my pocket...just in case somebody does steal it.

    Rookie mistake OP.

    I had a small towel that I used to stand on after showering downstairs. Someone swiped that the other day.

    If you leave a book just lying around somewhere. You're asking to have it stolen/taken from you, tbh. Maybe a cleaner mistook it for a lost item, so he/she took it.

    And now "What They Saw Is What They Got".

    I'd say the book taught them well.

    I have read the book and it's very good..in my opinion of course. Lots of good reviews on Amazon too.

    If you haven't read it and are just judging from TV then realy, you can't comment on the OP's choice of books

    Anyway OP, go mad in work and issue threats until somebody admits it

    How is dossing off work & sitting on the crapper reading books emulating someone who worked their way to the top?

    Wow! Tell me more!

    Let me guess. Young c*nt grows up to be bigger meaner c*nt by kicking the little guy in the face. Repeatedly.

    Now since he's reviewed some of his accounts he needs a little more income so he decides to be a c*nt on telly and point his c*nty finger whilst growling out "you're fired" from his whorish mouth.

    That sum it up?

    No it is much better than that actually.

    Hint of jealously from your remarks perhaps.

    Well there are a lot of people you can take a disliking to without having met them and of course many people whose autobiographies you would only read on pain of death. I've never met Piers Morgan but I still think he's a cúnt.

    I'm jealous I'm not a c*nt? I could be a c*nt! Anybody could be a c*nt.

    Actually that's what he should've renamed his book to.

    I'm interested in your views on personal hygiene, seeing as you leave a book in a public toilet.
