A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
Movie might, My Generation, with Michael Caine. Excellent documentary about London in the 1960s. Loads of nostalgia. What a time and place to be growing up in.
Cracking piece from Max Walker in Vittles, on the Devon Split, as a vehicle for the industrialisation of London's milk supply. I've never tasted one, but I kept thinking, which came first, the Split or the Marritozzo. Still none the wiser.

Matt Webb refuses to normalise milk from cows, and has some fun observations about how to specify the "milk" in his flat whites and regional variations in London. I don't take any "milk" in most of the coffee I drink, so not an issue for me.
"Meat traders came out in support of vegan activists who occupied Smithfield Market in London last night."
Happy to take your word for it, as The Times won't let me read without registering.
What with the London and Dublin podcast festivals, I reckon #hearsay2017 should be a blast. @thisheadstuff @hearsayfestival
