Miss H staggers into the catalogue office after a day at the 
coalface. A piece of paper is pinned to her desk with a dessert fork. 
It is covered with foodstains and greasy thumbprints.

After considering it from several angles, Miss H decides to seek 
clarification:

- so, no posts at all about chewing gum or chocolate frogs as food 
items? Magical cooking and diet become 3.13.2 and 3.13.3 respectively?
- by cataloguing tool, you mean the live dbase that we code on?
- if so, yes, remove unwanted codes from the definitions dbases, and 
only update the definitions for those sections that remain; 
conversely, add in any codes that have been put in the live dbase, 
but don't exist in the definitions dbase.

Having further confused everyone, Miss H gives it up as a bad job and 
apparates to the Archers' discussion boards, to find out what 
everyone thought of tonight's gripping episode, and indeed, a 
gruelling week's listening.

One suggestion is that George (residual sproglet from Ed'n'Em's 
illicit liaison) is in fact Harry Potter. No, really, I cannot begin 
to explain, but you are welcome to drop in ...

dunno if non-Brits can pick it up, but there is also a listen-again 
feature, so you can even hear the episodes being discussed. The 
authentic voice of middle England I tell you.
