On a related note -
It was disappointing that the BBC News at Ten last night chose footage of a public library to accompany the piece on soaring council tax bills. Consider our profile duly raised!

According to a 'relationship expert' on LBC Radio 97.3FM (5/3/2003 8.40pm),
if you are 'going on the pull' it is best to dress like a librarian because
then everything is left to the imagination!!!!Unfortunately I don't know
whether I'll have time to complain to the Radio Broadcasting Authority.
Don't forget there is always the Advertising Standards Authority to
complain/lobby with regard to publications/soft porn on billboards etc.
