Nat: Oh hello, I remember meeting you at the place you work. I was on a school project.

Jakub: Yes, I remember. Did you get a good mark for it?

Nat: Don’t know yet. The teacher takes ages to mark things sometimes. So you queuing for the internet?

Jakub: Yes. I always come when I have day off, once a week.

Nat: I’m lucky, I have a pc on line at home…

Jakub: Maybe you can’t tell, but most of this queue is foreign workers trying to email home. Mostly we can’t afford our own computers.

Eva: Yeah, I’m from Czech Republic. This is great service, free on line in the public library.

Grace: If only it was open all night! I work shifts at the hospital so I can’t always get here in the day.

Eva: Yes, but Grace, you can’t expect the library staff to be on shift work too!

Grace: I know, I was only joking.

Nat: The queue is quite long….

Eva: We sometimes get bad words from English people, they say we want all computers to ourselves.

Nat: Well like Jakub says, if most of the queue is foreigners….. It's not surprising people complain.

Grace: I know, but it’s one of the few things we ask for. Jakub lives in a caravan and works long hours, so local people don’t even know he’s here, except when he spends money in the supermarket. Eva and I both work at the hospital, it’s not as if we aren’t making a contribution to this country….

Jakub: But I suppose people wanting to use the internet don’t think about that. They just see foreigners making them wait.

Grace: Mmmmmm. They don’t complain when they have a shorter wait at the hospital, because I’m working there…
