ITS name may trip easily off the tongue, but illicitencounters.com couldn't be more specific in its lurid intention.

Touted as the UK's largest dating site for married people, with 760,000 members and counting, it has announced a 5000-strong surge in sign-ups during the first part of this month. And here's the rub: most of the new recruits are women. In Scotland, the majority are from Aberdeenshire. Infer from that what you will, but personally I find it depressing to think that a husband's absence on a North Sea oil rig is sufficient licence to seek a good drilling from a stranger.
