Nag, nag, niggle, nag
Spit your life away
Waggle your acid in front of the placid
And establish your right of way
Then pick a point
Peck a point, grind it on a nerve
Nag, nag, niggle, nag
Till you get what you deserve.

London bookseller in '84 Charing Cross Road'. Anthony Hopkins played him just right, and I can just remember the actual shop at No 84, with a dark coloured? black frontage.
I also remember how my family were likewise [; eased to get food parcels in 1946-49, though in this case not from a famous author in the US, but family in Canada..
