"Why isn't there a new display in the window in Lending?" T.Aldous asks Bronwyn.
"I think a couple of Library Assistants are putting something together for Black History Month. I'm sure I saw Bessie and Chrissie putting together a display board yesterday," replies Bronwyn.
"Can you make sure that they do," is the master's Parthian shot.
Bronwyn is fizzing.
"Does Doreen take no responsibility for what happens in her library?" she asks us.
"Is Doreen a member of Policy Team?" we ask.
"Yes..."
"Do any of them take responsibility for anything? Ever?"
"Oh, fuck the lot of them!"
This job's expanding Bronwyn's vocabulary no end.

This is the second time in a week that T Aldous has accosted Bronwyn... I think he's afraid to show his true feelings...
Not even in jest Macy!!!
I like Bronwyn's attitude. I once got fired for saying the same thing, except my version of T Aldous was within earshot.
It was one of the happiest days of my life.
GBS didn't get it right every time as viz when he said what he said about swearing and vocabulary. Sometimes no other word will do.
