Re: Bedtime with Nanny.

My Mum was as poor as a Church mouse as a child, like a lot of folk. All the books she was given, a lot as Sunday School prizes, and that she read by the light of the street lamp, she still treasures. She did loan them to me and my Brother to read, and now has lent them to her Grandaughter.

Like l posted earlier, a love of books is invaluable to a lot of people. I would just rather see this vast amount of money invested into Libaries or schools. For one thing with Libaries you can read the books and take them back afterwards and exchange for something new, this silly scheme just seems futile.
