Hi Kate
Whilst an archive assistant at Lichfield, many moons ago, we were having some building work done. The then Archivist and myself were transporting some 17th century Bishop's Court records down the internal goods lift. A workman was also in the lift. After several glances at both the documents and us, he simply asked:
"Why d'ya keep 'em so long?"
This deflated me quicker than taking a blow torch to a space hopper.
