@RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMailStamps Hi. If I'm sending a parcel using stamps, should I use your standard or online price guide? If the latter, why I am paying more to use your stamps?!?

(I’m convinced that this goes some way to explaining how and why coastal communities were so easily overlooked in the public imagination and by policy makers in the later part of the twentieth century)

We did briefly meet Brits in a coastal town in the early 1990s, but like the tourists who fled the British seaside, we went abroad to the Costa-del-Sol (Eldorado, 1992-93).

British soap operas have taken audiences to many postwar landscapes. From the brick terraces of an northern industrial town (Coronation Street, 1960-date)…

Labour Party election poster, 1945. Absent from most imagery of postwar reconstruction, peace-town-on-sea sits in a chalk valley packed with detached homes and guarded by confident balconied flat blocks. Not a pier in sight. #seasidearchitecture

I’ve had a sneak preview of this book and going to be GREAT! Important work by @SeasideFerry enriching our understanding of #seasidearchtecture. Bravo @BatsfordBooks.

After the UK's last coal power station closed last week, the Twentieth Century Society has selected seven projects that demonstrate how the under-threat cooling towers at these "cathedrals of industry" could be reused.

There are more *important* things (I write words for a living)
But the point remains - Save Our Cooling Towers, guys 🤓

There are more impotent things in the world But just a little mention of an historic day in Nottinghamshire - and a plea to save some iconic architecture that has symbolised “home” for many of us, all our lives. The cooling towers of Ratcliffe-on-soar. Soon to be blown up… /1

#LookBackInAnger at the @AlmeidaTheatre is a hard watch. It’s one thing to study it (as I did 20 years ago) but another to endure the company of Jimmy Porter. His violent misogyny & the toll on Alison feels shocking to now, so must have utterly floored audiences in 1953.
