Ugg ugga boo ugga

T.Aldous's solution to the problem with the people counters is to issue instructions to staff that each morning they should take a note of the number displayed on the front of the counters. It doesn't take a lot of thought to realise that if the counter isn't recording visitor figures the number isn't going to change.

I get a message from Senebene Library:

Kevin,

Do I have to keep writing down the number on the people counter every day? I'm getting fed up of writing 1559. These numbers are rubbish aren't they?

Beryl,

Do as you're told, it's character building. You know, and I know, that the day after you pack it in he'll be on your neck for the numbers. The whole thing's crap, just like everything else about working here.
