Sad news. Peter Usborne was a giant of independent publishing. Massive legacy in Usborne books and Private Eye. Worked on deals until his last day alive according to this obit. theguardian.com/books/2023/mar…
@choosenick He will indeed. He had a definite philosophy - lots of detail for children and adults to pore over - and a keen eye on his audience. I write these books called Puzzle Adventures- loved them.
Super-excited about starting new #ContentDesign work at @Justice_Digital on Monday (and also think that 'digital justice' is an epic email address; Gotham city vibes in a very good way). See you there!
I’m leaving gov! From next month I’m going to be working with the brilliant team @transformUK . Until then, here’re my reflections on what I’ve learned 👀

Can anyone recommend some really great, fun reads? I’ve done a few too many heavy books and want some cheerful fiction next. Also news is so grim I need to escape to my kindle!
@HimalMandalia@glenathan too true. I often think the issue is that we have full service design or, er nothing. Feels like there’s a large space in the middle that’s very poorly defined/addressed. Congrats on the new gig btw 👍🏼
@LaufenBathrooms why can't you keep to your delivery commitments? Every week you say our unit should arrive and every week you fail to deliver. Very poor customer service.
@LaufenBathrooms The estimated delivery dates you supply seem to be pure guesswork and no one (us, Doble, our builders) know when the unit might arrive).
@LaufenBathrooms The latest is that it might (might?) be on the lorry next Wednesday but probably wouldn’t get to us til after Easter anyway. Which would be 7 weeks since order and at least a week after our builders leave!
