"I've got a pile of flattened cardboard boxes in the back there. Are you going to be needing them for Tench Lane?"
"No, I've sorted out what we're doing about moving the books away from the building work."
"So is it OK for me to chuck them then?"
"Oh yes, we need the space."
Today T. Aldous approaches Seth:
"Do we have any cardboard boxes? We need about thirty or forty of them for moving the stock at Tench Lane."
He then scoured the building looking for likely boxes. He spotted a pile in the acquisitions team's corner.
"What are these boxes?"
"They're new books that have arrived from the suppliers this morning."
"Can you unpack them now? I need the boxes."
"No. Each box includes the invoice and delivery note and we need to be able the check the boxes' contents against the paperwork."
"Can't you pile the books in the corner over there, using the invoices to separate each box?"
"Is that your 'phone ringing?"
