Brilliant stories!

Working in a posh school library we frequently have parental tours. The comments often go along the lines of...

For the staff we act as a more approachable first point of contact if their computers go wrong as they are too scared to go straight to the IT men in case they say something stupid. The classic was when one of them was berating IT because they had not taken his computer to be mended. Closer inspection showed that he only had a key board and monitor on the desk and the magic box was indeed being mended by IT.

Curiously we seldom get stupid questions from the kids! Education must be working somehow!
