Hi i - I did the interview - glad it was of value. The intention was to get (from IWC planning head) a backgrounder in the process as we'd noticed (over 19 years) it's not widely understood.

Which questions would you like to have been asked? We're considering further interview, so pls let me know

I heard last night that the Portsmouth News had SIX editions a DAY in 1978 - selling over 110k papers a day. Staggering

An amazing position of being the primary source of information for the area

There was a time where Tweeting was a natural reflex, but my lack of use over the last 5(?) years has made me v rusty.

Waking up and finding a few followers, including familiar faces (Hi @mintymat.bsky.social !) was a little thrill that makes me wonder if I might get back into the swing
