of course... different skid every day, sometimes resembling a gaelic knot, sometimes a mystic hindi phrase and sometimes chinese characters for "always wear scks with crocs".

Can't do that Franki - am too busy working on a three-quarter length skinny-jean trouser that can sit halfway down the thigh and is part shell suit and part stone-washed denim (of course my long hair keeps getting in the way so I tied it back into a ponytail which I am not sure whether to tuck under my baseball cap or through the hole at the back) and now have to change the whole colour scheme so it matches my football shirt. But keep it under your bucket hat eh?

Do you mean this maxxi? Guardian journalist making his fashion statement.

A Fashion Editor doing a puff piece for M&S just because it was their 125th anniversary - the swine.


I believe your unproven scattergun approach to conspiracy theory and having looked at her other articles can charge that the Guardian is clearly also sponsored by Versace, Dior, McCartney, Lagerfeld, H&M, Moschino, Reiss, McQueen, Sarah Burton, Marc Jacobs and the colour Orange.


She even did a similar puff piece piece on a bag maker of all things - typical fashion editor.

forgot to say I also occasionally wear an elasticated, gaudily patterned snood or bandana and now that I have seen Ben Westwood's 'riding coats' I shall be doing my best to acquire one so I can wear it wear with my Akubra.

Resistance is futile, maxxi, as I will continue the m&s theme. As for the other sponsoring fashion companies they didn't appear on my radar when I first done my research on the Guardian four years ago. Oh yes, I now deem Versace, Dior, McCartney, Lagerfeld, H&M, Moschino, Reiss, McQueen, Sarah Burton, Marc Jacobs and the colour Orange unworthy! This remind me when American Apparel became Guardian's label of the year. Talk about kiss of death.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
