Oh not entirely true, though they can sometimes feel a bit stern and are sticklers for the correct opening and closing of the doors. Some of them do have their "ways" but there are some lovely, warm people there - especially with kids.


I'd say that they are "quietly friendly" which is fine by me.


Some of them do sessions at local nurseries - reading aloud and fostering a love of books and stories.


Big up to Pam a happy feature of my childrens lives and eagerly looked for on the streets of ED.

In all fairness there are one or two of them who can be a bit surly sometimes but I find if I gurn idiotically at them I normally elicit a smile.


Anyway they?re librarians, they?re supposed to look down their nose at you over a pair a reading glasses. Tradition dictates that their expressions be ?pinched? or perhaps ?fraught? but not ?jolly?. If you want jolly you?ve got to find yourself a butcher.


Organising books alls day = pinched


Chopping up dead carcasses all day = jolly


Such is just the way of the world.

No, no, no! You know where you stand with Librarians.


Estate agents are human shaped alien craft piloted by a race of intergalactic property developers hell-bent on turning earth into a modern, executive housing development with Venutian views for space yuppies. I can prove it. They all look exactly the same don?t they? And their skin looks like it?s made of plastic. That?s because it is.


Clowns are Satan?s agents on earth. They are also in league with the estate agents.


They would turn the library into something resembling that Adventure Place further down Lordship Lane, which I?m told is their current stronghold in these environs.

There's one miserable librarian who used to seem to delight in telling me about my over due fines, never seemed to believe me as i tipped my remaining coppers on the counter that's all i had, i had to give up the library, for a while what with the mortification, in fact i might just go and renew now and see if they smile when i pay the fine off finally!

    • Sue My point being that if you experience something that could potentially be sorted by a GP, you might feel it necessary to go to A&E, which would be clogged up due to the doctors strike.  Just my opinion, but I don't really see that its necessary to close a surgery for half a day for staff training.  
    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
