Tears in Bloggington on Sea
Mrs Sideloader was weeping on the sofa in the self help section this morning when she saw the headline in the "Bloggington Bugle" -
"Cautious welcome for cake filling factory"
The building of a cake filling and library book labelling factory on the site of the ancient naval dockyard in Bloggington will bring 1,000 new local government jobs to Bloggington, but funding the new council jobs will mean closure of all but one of the public libraries and the removal of most of the books from the remaining Carnegie library on the dockside. The Carnegie library will be turned into a "Recovery Centre"
"How could the Bloggington Bugle say this, she wept with tears like Alice. They have always supported our libraries. Where is Mr Grimsdyke in our hour of need"
"Save the libraries of Bloggington" she cried in despair

Where indeed is Mr. Grimsdyke in Mrs. Sideloader's
hour of need. So much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Rumour has it that Mr Grimsdyke has been appointed literary advisor to George Dubya? Mr. Grimsdyke is now staying as guest of Mr.Bush, at his Texas ranch.MI5 are aware of this, though it is all very hush, hush.
It was at Mr Grimsdyke's (such a modest man) suggestion, that George Dubya embraced the works of Albert Camus.
Message for Mrs Sideloader. Have a slice of lemon drizzle cake, plus a pot of earl grey tea; it really lifts one's spirits.
