Nobody uses public libraries
There's a press release doing the rounds from the Department of Common Sense (DCMS) and a charity called LASER.
It says "People under the age of 35 don't like libraries"
Knowing DCMS and LASER as we all do we can be sure that they will call a very expensive conference (£185 each ticket) and witter all day.
I can save everybody their money and explain that the reason people under 35 don't like libraries is because libraries are awful dumps with nothing in them that are generally shut. People under 35 expect better and are not fooled by daft marketing slogans like "Love libraries".
Get a life - and do your job, Minister.
Everyone else could send £100 to me instead. I'd be grateful.
