The subscription is £3,000 therefore although dear to the Libraries a god send to us.

We are all paying for it at the end of the day ... I prefer to spend £60 odd quid and stay at home .... less than the price of an evening out.

Doubtless budgets will come under review when council tax rises are next resented.
