I’m standing so a queue at the post office and i just remembered that i’ve been meaning to post a shot of the decoration. These wierd reliefs above the cashiers appear to be the only thing that isn’t affected by the current remodelling. They would look more at home on some piece of soviet concrete brutalism, but somehow they ended up in manchester.

Government censors in the 1930s feared that banning books about lesbianism would prompt interest in the subject, National Archive records show.

They were concerned that suppressing certain books could lead to women “getting to know” about such practices and “defeat the object” of censorship.

Yes, I am going to be smug about the lack of television at Casa Spinneyhead- a psychologist has called for daily limits on television watching, though other experts say this is unworkable.

At age 75, the average British person will have spent more than twelve years of full 24-hour days watching television, he said.

The average six-year-old will have already watched more than one full year of their lives, he says.
