Excuse a slight thread wander while I agree with Bob for a minute there. I was trying to study in the reference library not long ago and a group of kids with (presumably) a teacher were also there and making enough of a disturbance to put me totally off what I was doing. I was naive enough to think that the reference library of all places should be a quiet haven for study so I approached the member of staff at the desk to ask if they could request a bit of hush. I was told that if I wanted a quieter location I could opt to lock myself in a private cubicle! Apparently chattering in the reference library is now considered acceptable.

This idea of the clock as a focal point of new train/bus station sounds good. Any idea how long it will be before that is likely to be created and will the clock be safe meanwhile?
