Mines £24 for 2 books just 6 days late (£2 a day per book). Can anyone beat this? Does anyone want to 'lend' me £24? Im skint.

Lol, makes my 15p look a bit crap :lol:

and that was 1 book which was 3 days late :P

worst thing is i didnt actually read the bloody books i was planning to sooner or later til i saw the fine.

I felt cheated by my £7.50 fine.

£24? I'd be absolutely livid.

3 groats.

ooops better get mine taken back to the library... They were due back at central library on the 24th... Err! Opps! :rolleyes:

Judging by some of these figures I think fines must have gone up somewhat since my day. I have only ever been fined once and that was pence. How much are the fines these days?

Compared to £24 pound this seems a bit naff, but I actually lost the book in question (Terry Prattchett - Eric) and so had to go and buy a replacement, only cost about a fiver, but also have to pay overdue fee which was also about a fiver, so all in all £10 give or take...and I also never actually read the book! :loopy:

I've not borrowed a book from a library in about ten years! I think my worst fine was in my student days and about £8 and that was for some CDs I'd borrowed and forgotten to return for a week.

Married to a librarian for 20 plus years. Fines? What are they?

Bet its quiet in your house then, or does she make up for the quietness in the day by making a right racket at night?

I took out some books from Norton College library in 1996 and I still haven't taken them back yet. Considering that the fine was 50p a day, I best not show my face around there ever again!

£24 , Jeeeeeeeez!

How much were the books worth?

Before marrying my librarian, and no it's not quiet in our house mikey, I had had fines from many libraries. I've had fines from big libraries and little libraries but the biggest library? Probably Auckland Library.

My largest fine from a library was 8p for a book and £1 for a cd. both a day late.

erm £8.99 for a lost book! i was 10!

Crikey Fletch, you got a book out when you were only 2?

I have got a £4 fine at the university to pay, i know the day loan books are £2 a day!!!

Oh dear, am gonna put myself to shame here.

£124 from Coventry Uni.

5 Art books overdue and lost.

Had to pay up before they would allow me to graduate.
