Archivist. Became an archivist because I like books and now I spend all day glaring at a computer. Manchester and Cheshire.

I’m on a train to Crewe. The people opposite are having a full-on M&S picnic. There are so many M&S bags on this train, they may as well just let that tiny M&S shop at Euston take over the whole station.
