I’ve said I’ll take it back but they wanted to prosecute so I’ve been investigated by the XXXXX and appeared in XXXX where I was fined £XX. Fortunately, the XXXX and The XXXXX agreed not to reveal my details to the public so no-one knows about this except the Board of Directors at the Company I own.

They’ve been really good. Obviously my position was untenable and, as they said, it wasn’t the fact that I borrowed something long-term from XXX but that I got found out. Anyway, I had to resign as Managing Director.

Happily, my wife is Company Secretary so she’s created a new post to start as soon as all the fuss has died down (in about a month). I’m really looking forward to the challenge of becoming the first Directing Manager in the Company.

Oh, and I didn’t have to take the television back either
