A worrying hour or two in the afternoon. Was at the Greenhouse for work today and we noticed that some teenagers were outside, they seemed to be exchanging words with someone, and then they were picking up bricks and hurling them at him. Not in our direction thankfully. Then what must have happened was that both parties circled the library in different directions as they met on the other side and another brick was thrown which slammed into the window a few feet away from where I was. Luckily the glass was strengthened, the caretaker reckoned it hit the window flat on, so made a loud noise but didn't really hit it too forcibly. Luckily the youths weren't interested in the library but I made sure that the member of staff who was getting picked up phoned to make sure her lift was waiting for her when we finished work, didn't fancy the idea of any of us hanging around in the area any longer than absolutely necessary, but though the packs were circling there wasn't any more trouble.

But when the fear kicks in and you immediately turn Conservative for a minute, "the police? A fine body of men who do a very difficult job, let down by a few bad apples. I think they should all be armed and allowed to shoot anyone they don't like the look of" until you calm down and sanity returns.
