Compared to us the Stasi was over-communicative

A bollocking from T.Aldous for telling staff that the reason why items being issued at Catty today have a May 2008 due date is because it's going to be closed for building works.

"This is premature. You should check your facts first."

"This is far from premature. Both staff and public will be wondering why this stock has a May due date."

Why does every bloody thing in this library service have to be a secret?
