On a related theme.
I remeber once, in my days as a school librarian, lying topless on a beach
in France somewhere, only to be woken with a "Hello, Miss, having a good
holiday..?".
And I thought I was getting away from the little darlings for 6 weeks!
Another good story. We had a very strange getleman come into the library
here (for staff only) and ask
to join. My Assistant librarian asked him "Excuse me, are you a docotr or a
patient? " He replied quite indignantly that he was a psychiatric nurse!
(And by the way, he nearly drowned me in the swimming baths this morning!)
Cheers.
Madeline
