Silverfox: If a family has grandparents, parents and adult children that are unable to secure employment and dependent on benefits why not say sorry, you cannot live in The borough of Westminster, but we can relocate you to Hull next week. What is wrong with that? Have you ever been to Hull?

Dont forget Cold Chain tonight.

Looking forward to tonight in the Gowlett.

I had a fantastic meal last night at the new chippy opposite Oakhurst Grove in East Dulwich Rd. The food was fresh and fantastic, they gave us two bottles of wine for free and free humus & olives. This obviously a loss leader and wont last. I thoroughly recommend this place, get in quick before it gets too busy.

Well there is always the Ritzy

London art show marks end of analogue TV An Arqiva analogue transmitter from Sudbury forms the centrepiece of a display by Simon Denny. Arqiva is supporting a major exhibition entitled Remote Control organised by the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London this spring, which coincides with the digital switchover in London. The exhibition marks the end of analogue TV broadcasting, representing a milestone in the evolution of the medium. A high-power analogue transmitter, recently decommissioned from our Sudbury site in Suffolk, gets a 10-week reprieve before continuing on its journey of environmentally safe disposal. Remote Control surveys the enormous impact that television has had upon contemporary culture and looks at how the next generation is responding to digital convergence. The exhibition includes many important works that reveal the power and influence of television broadcasting on politics and society. Matt Williams, Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, said: ?The physicality of the vintage TV transmitter from Arqiva impressed me a great deal and the idea of the signal being pushed through a series of valves. This is beautifully engineered, large and solid equipment that is normally never seen and yet has delivered the great televised events of our recent history to a mass audience.? The area which includes the transmission equipment is designed by Berlin-based artist Simon Denny and also features works made for TV by artists such as David Hall, Richard Serra and Ant Farm (an American artist collective). Peter Heslop, Director of Digital Switch Over at Arqiva, adds: ?For several years now our focus in Arqiva has been on designing and installing the new digital network, so it?s very pleasing to see the spotlight on the old analogue kit that has served us so well for the last few decades. There is little or no practical use for the old transmitters so it?s good that at least one of them will take on a final public role before joining the others in the recycling process.? The transmitter is from a PYE klystron-based installation which has transmitted Channel 4 at Sudbury since 1982. The Remote Control exhibition takes place at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Mall, London between 3 April and 10 June. The ICA is in The Mall, just down from Admiralty Arch. Admission is free.

Well I have just switched off CH4 analogue for the last time. RIP analogue TV, the end of an era. Look out for the light show tonight & Thursday.

Don't pick it up and it will go back to the sender.

Of course. Just come along on Wednesday.

World Book Night this year is on 23rd April. The Wednesday night book club will be giving away 24 copies of ?A Tale of Two Cities? By Dickens at the Gowlett Pub in Gowlett Rd between 7.00pm & 8.00pm. They do brilliant pizzas and sell great beer. Do come along for your free copy. Some FAQ?s Q. What is World Book Night? A. World Book Night is a charity dedicated to the promotion of literacy and the celebration, sharing and enjoyment of reading amongst teenagers and adults. The first World Book Night was held in the UK in 2011. In 2012 World Book Night will be celebrated in the UK, Ireland and the USA on April 23 and will see tens of thousands of givers share the joy and love of reading with millions of non or light readers. To find out more about WBN please visit our About World Book Night page Q. Why April 23? A. April 23 is the UNESCO International Day of the Book, chosen in honour of Shakespeare and Cervantes who both died on April 23 1616 (and it was also -- probably -- Shakespeare's birthday). In the UK World Book Day is an initiative to encourage children to read and engage with books and it is celebrated on the first Thursday of March each year. When World Book Day was first launched 15 years ago April 23 was chosen as the date but the shifting Easter holiday meant that it regularly fell within the school breaks and so the celebration date was moved to March to enable schools to celebrate World Book Day as effectively as possible. Q. What are givers, and what do they do? A. Givers are volunteers who are passionate about reading and have signed up to give copies of a certain book on or around April 23 to those who don't regularly read within their communities. Givers collect the books they've been allocated from their local participating bookshop or library in the week before World Book Night. Dont forget this Monday at the Gowlett.
