Resistance to Change
It is a constant source of surprise how the library profession (SYRUP) has been resistant to change. People are still cataloguing books they catalogued and labelled many years ago.
Bloggington is now so far advanced that it has become the cause of fierce jealousy which has lead to outbreaks of sporadic invasion from Barsetshire which lies over the hill.
To resist the incursion Mayor Tomato has called up a heavily armed Air Craft Carrier of the Italian navy to lie in Bloggington Bay. "Throw meringues at us if you like, Mr and Mrs Dumpling, and see what you get in return," he was heard shouting down his mobile phone.
Mr Elgar Atkins has brought his tin helmet down from the attic. Mr Grimsdyke has polished his telescope. Perkins, the library cat, is asleep in the military history section of the Carnegie Library on the dockside between "Napoleon" and "Nuclear bunkers"
