I used to read my cousins copy-find out what the opposition are up to and all that.It never helped,just left me more bewildered.I suspect that at one point in its life that magazine had more adolescent male readers than female! Couldnt have been a double bluff could it?Bit late now, Im still bewilderedHa ha - I used to read that too. My older sister used to leave her copy lying about. The "Cathy and Claire" page, I think?
It was all very innocent way back then ...
"Dear Cathy and Claire ... I have been going out with my boyfriend for 6 months now and he is now hinting that he would like to kiss me. Do you think this would be acceptable, or would he consider me too 'easy'" - 'Jane', of Coventry.
"Dear Jane ... Has he had the decency to ask you to marry him? If not, then remember this - it is only a very short step from your first kiss to your second child - think twice before giving way to his carnal demands!" - C&C.

We used to do our pension through a finance broker in the 90's. He came round one evening to go through stuff. We'd known him for ages, and during a brew the conversation rambled....
Me- you must get to see inside some houses....
Chris- yes. Some lovely, some odd, great people and some oddballs.
The worst visit was going to a house to do life insurance for a young couple, recently wed."have you ever had an AIDS test? I asked. The wife replied NO straight away. The bloke looked sheepish and mumbled. The wife pressed him on this until he said........
In uni me and my room mate (Bob or whoever) got really hammered one evening and then proceeded to have gay penetrative sex with one another, so after that I went for an AIDS test.
Chris tried to complete the rest of the business in double quick time. He was embarrassed, the husband was mortified, and the Mrs might well have been done for murder that night.

I know someone who found his parent's profile on a swinger website. His mother boasted of a special ability that meant he never thought he'd be able to look her in the eye again.

Imagine the scene at the altar when dad is there to give his daughter away and the groom is making eyes and the priest is thinking hey up threesome.

I read that dilemma earlier, and I think it's probably fair to say that it ranks in the top 10%, in terms of outlandish submissions. Some people would say that the problems column of The Guardian has long been a target for mischievous writers with fertile imaginations. However, this being The Guardian, it's all considered at face value for fear of upsetting someone, in the unlikely event that the submission is real, and the 'problem' is given the most earnest consideration both above and below the line.

Well that beats the problem page of Jackie that I used to read as a paper lad.
One of my friends wrote the letters and replies for that.

No, but if you are a regular reader, you soon get a feel for which end of the scale a particular dilemma is at.
I wonder whether some of these are real...
Truth is often stranger than fiction, I remember stories of "Trisha" filmed in Norwich
One case was where a young lady"s fiancée was stealing and wearing her clothes
She was a diminutive girl of about 5' and he was a 6'2" rugby player!
The clothes simply would not have fitted, but the interviews went ahead. Then allegedly his "Gay lover" appeared out of the audience to accuse him of being unfaithful with her
Good TV, but entirely the work of Art and Drama students who used to spoof the show.
