The spending freeze is starting to bite. For the first time in recorded history there are less than a dozen boxes in the fire escape corridor without there being a fire inspector on the premises. In fact, there are so few of them they could be stored in the dispatch room, but for the arrival this morning of a load of Confidential Waste bins.
Could it be that T.Aldous is going to clear his office before retiring?

I had to chuckle at the descriptive vocabulary used to form such a wonderful title.
A hat tip to you sir.
Thank you sir. I'm convinced it's a quotation, or a conflation of quotations, but can't source it.
The lavender passage has my imagination running riot.
Hmm, yes, it does sound vaguely familiar to me too - perhaps I overheard it in the Commando Club, Paddington.
Isn't "mince pies" rhyming slang for "eyes"?
gosh. things are getting quite exciting. Confidential waste from Libraries? Secretive librarians, are they an under(book)cover organisation? Who will be the next 007?
So you didn't mean Ian Lavender then.
Pat: we look to you to keep the smutty elements in check!
Gadjo: it'll be that Gordon, then.
Nursemyra: it is, but I'm not going to speculate any further than that, due to timidity on my part.
Wendy: the invoices, contracts, job application forms, etc. count as confidential waste. Knowing T.Aldous he'll have Methuselah's retirement forms in his office somewhere.
Kaz: I hope not!
It is his office he might be clearing? Not orifice?? Just a thought occasioned by the lavender passage....
Oooh... Macy!
I don't believe you're timid for one minute!
