Best bit of that one is that he accused me of making it up - that he never ever said such a thing...Some sort of architectural consultancy for Nott'm City council (can't be bothered to look it up)
With my astoundingly Bugsyesque powers of defying reality, I even managed to post my made up story under Bugsy's username here:
In the not-too-distant past, it was “decided” that the Hyson Green library (in Nottingham) would be moved from its well-known and useful location to the newly extended Mary (Harry?) Potter Health Centre on Gregory Boulevard. Locals were invited to provide input and form a “Citizens’ Council” to accompany the move and to provide critical input. I was one of those chosen for that council.
We were presented with various architectural blueprints as to how the “new” centre was to be established and also with how the Hyson Green library was to be accommodated in the new building. On top of that, we were also asked to decide what sort of décor and shelving etc was to be used in the new Hyson Green library – with each of us issued with a “points list” for the various manufacturers as we reviewed what they had to offer. All well and good.
At some point, in all the many committee meetings we had, I brought up the (for me) important issue that, while there were many pointers on the old (actually rather lovely, late-Victorian library building) stating that the library was actually now somewhere else (which disappeared after a sixmonth), there was no sign (or any other indication) on the Mary Potter building itself that in now contained the “new” Hyson Green library.
