Thought For The Day

   The Prisoner having gone though his file, and to the point where he was due to meet Chambers, late of the Foreign Office, who never turned up but who was so talkative, Number 2 tells him "You see there's not much we don't know about you. But one likes to know everything {is that one as in an unspecified, indefinate person, or someone, the Number 1 perhaps}. For instance do you remember that time you retruned from Singapore, a change of climate, feeling a bit shaky. You were sickening for a cold, sneezed your way out of our camera. Deciding to take a vacation, Now where can you go? Ireland? A bit too cold that time of the year. Paris! Maybe not. What was that, sounded like a click, something in the mirror? Or was it over there, yes, over there too! As I said one likes to know everything." For example Number 2 didn't know the Prisoner ,likes lemon tea. And in his file the Prisoner's the time of his birth is missing. "Well there you are, lets bring it all up to date" Number 2 suggests. "Four-thirty-one am, ninteenth of March 1928,' apart from that the Prisoner has nothing else to say.
    Yet the Prisoner's file is still incomplete, the reason why he resigned is missing! So to the question of why the Prisoner resigned, is it really so important? What difference would it have made for 'them' to know why the reason behind Prisoner's resignation? Was it that they simply wanted to know so that the Prisoner's file could be brought fully up to date?

I'll be seeing you
