I wonder what my nickname is in here, I spend most of the day here, and so I recognise most of the people here, some of them have nicknames from me, 'Hackney', 'Raffish', 'Barbara', 'disgusting', 'worried' and 'social worker'.

'Hackney' are a group of very london people from another culture, 'Raffish' is handsome man with a cheeky grin messy hair, who seems a bit posh and yet is in the library a lot. He says hello to me usually, and yesterday he seemed to want to talk but I panicked and chickened out.
'Barbara' is here doing research all day, she looks so like a homeless woman I knew called Barbara. 'Disgusting' deliberately looks round at everyone and smiles and starts blowing her nose constantly and looking round to see who notices, she does it every day. 'Worried' just looks worried, and 'social worker' looks like a social worker. It has taken all this time for me to realise that other people exist here, I have only begum to notice this more recently. Library people watching.
