These lists roll around fairly regularly, and we’re number 3 least trusted profession:

> 1. Politicians > 2. Bankers > 3. Journalists > 4. Car Salesmen > 5. Estate Agents

That’s us, just after the people who fiddles their expenses from our pockets and the folks brought the world’s economy to its knees. And we’re always in the top few.

Anyone surprised that the buying public aren’t rushing to prop up our pre-internet business models?
