"Borsetshire are replacing their systems and they're not doing regional loans at the moment so we can't get copies from Borsetshire."
"Well, I don't want this one."
"If you're willing to wait until Borsetshire comes back onto the regional loans system I can try and get their copy if they're willing to loan it."
"That's good. Why didn't you say so in the first place?"

Ms. Cow: but we do! We charge a stonking rate for ILLs and they still do this!
