Sweary prof, iconoclast, and non-league football nut (Larkhall Athletic FC 💙). Lives in early modern London; citizen & Founder. Bossed by cats. I mean it about the swearing 🤬
So @gwr.com have sneakily changed the timings of, and almost doubled the cost of, advance singles. Good work, chaps, make my unremunerated REED work even more expensive. Excellent.

Public service email to everyone heading into the UK at the end of this month who isn't a UK or Irish citizen. The ETA requirement for UK entry is coming and isn't receiving enough advanced coverage. Don't get caught in the ensuing chaos:

Safe to say Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian is not a fan of the new Wuthering Heights adaptation:
'Emerald Fennell cranks up the campery as she reinvents Emily Brontë’s tale of Cathy and Heathcliff on the windswept Yorkshire moor as a 20-page fashion shoot of relentless silliness'
