SoddingBrian, did you mean "Not nearly true enough?"
Beccs, I know what station you refer to! LOL.
I mean that it isn't true that people are always more interesting than their labels. Some people are a good deal LESS interesting than that.
By way of example, think of the label 'pirate'. What comes to mind is a big, burly, bearded bloke with a cutlass and a brace of pistols, sailing and spoiling on the Spanish Main, making prisoners walk the plank, and so on.
What a shock to find out it's a starving Somali with a speedboat and a machine gun.
