Eurocrats, Europhiles and critics of Garth Bland, eurosceptic County Archivist of Loamshire will be disappointed to hear that Garth recently survived a life-threatening accident.
Whilst leaning on a bookcase in his office he dislodged a weighty quantity of booklets which hit him on the head from a considerable height. We are informed that Garth has now fully recovered from his injuries but not before suffering a temporary relapse after discovering the nature of what had fallen on him.
Taking them up one by one, Garth was both surprised by and suddenly reminded of the welter of reports on advancing the cause of British archives that had landed on his desk over the last few years. Significantly, they had all merged into one in his mind.
Did the Archives Task Force pass this way?

Already recovering from a sore head, Garth now didn't know whether he was in the past, present or future, going backwards, forwards or sideways, where he was going, whether he was active or inactive, sensing or senseless or what strategy to adopt.
Suddenly remembering he was due back at the coalface he threw them all in the bin and muttered bollocks!
