Inflated Self-ImportanceAmorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

I don't mind the volunteers who hang out in rooms of a stately home answering direct questionsit seems in my experience that a lot of them eavesdrop and then wade into a conversation (between ourselves, and the Mrs is a top art history graduate who rarely needs to check her background information) when you didn't ask them anything. It's not a fucking competition.
Last time out I asked a few questions of a volunteer and was told 'we don't really know' by which I take it, she didn't know. I'm an engineer, I'm possibly expected not to know. If you don't know then why are you standing about as a 'font of all knowledge'?
