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!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
