If in Bristol Thursday October 16 you might be interested in a free book event I’ll be doing at Small Bar, 7 for 7.30, where I’ll be talking about ‘A Pub For All Seasons’ and reading from it - I’ll also have paperback copies which I’ll be selling for a tenner (rrp £12.99) and signing, interested?

An English railway oddesy... Italian train vlogger & influencer Ivan Maggini visits Britain's railways... Oh dear.
After a shaky start it turns out some British train trips are as quick as Italian ones, despite slower trains...

“Stealing childhoods” is a very apt description (though I wouldn’t necessarily limit it to social media but smart phones and electronic devices in general and it’s not just children impacted either!)

Same in Sevilla. No neighbours = no neighbourhoods.

“The historic center of Naples is dead. Those streets aren’t neighbourhoods anymore. There are no Neapolitans left, no real life left. They’ve become playgrounds, open-air shopping malls.”

I’ve often thought about nominating Hellas Verona fans singing Forza Verona to the tune of Verdi’s La Marcia trionfale (they also do a great rendition of Country Roads and Hey Jude)
