There are some things in life you just cannot bring yourself to say.
A child abuser, I suspect, would struggle with all the implications of announcing to the world: “I’m a paedophile.”
Tony Blair might not actually enjoy being ordered to exclaim: “Yep, I was a Tory all along.”
Simon Cowell would never shout it from the hilltops that none of his programmes will ever produce as many as three people you’d ever need to listen to (though that’s the old folkie in me talking).
Mick McCarthy is perhaps unlikely to tweak his cv to include the following win/draw/lose summary of his career as a Premiership manager: LLLLLLLLLLLLLLDWDLLLLLLLLLDLL
And that was just his record up to the unlucky 1-2 defeat at home to Chelsea on Jan 15 2006. He had more to go.
But most of all, you do NOT admit to an unclean family secret………
