I hesitate to insert a note of seriousness into the current silly season
messages (if we didn't have a sense of humour we'd all go mad) but I
wondered
whether the news had penetrated south of the Humber that Rita Friedman, York
City Archivist, has been suspended by the City Council for protesting to
councillors that they had started negotiating with York University to move
the
City Archives to the planned new Borthwick Institute building on the
University
campus without bothering to tell her. It was reported in the Yorkshire Post
on
29 July.
