I prefer a Binnen-I on paper, purely from aesthetic reasons, but I know views on that differ

Maybe be worth reaching out to the British Baptist Historical Society, they probably have an idea of their archives

(On the other hand I've been in plenty bits of Budapest over the years which are also pretty grey. And plenty of gorgeous bits of rural Hungary)

Thanks. My otherwise official source of Taylor Swift information and opinions (my wife) hadn't said anything about the podcast. Will check it out

Absolutely, completely agree.

Which podcast?

Plus French and German feel more useful than Spanish for interacting with the UK's biggest neighbourhood trading block (though that is just a gut feeling, I have no data)

Either way, it's depressing. I maintain languages are a stand against polarisation and popularism
