The 80s: Photographing Britain exhibition at Tate is well worth seeing. Some surprising omissions, and it loses direction about halfway through, but there’s some great photography and it’s well presented. https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/the-80s-photographing-britain/exhibition-guide

Jimmy Carter was an Officer, a Gentleman, a President, and a Humanitarian. His faith was shown, not flaunted. His devotion to humankind was humbly delivered. His authenticity can’t be match. He was the definition of a good soul. Our world is dimmer without his energy. RIP, Sir.

25 yrs ago a kg of roasted coffee beans cost approx £7.50 wholesale. Allowing for an 8 and half gram throw that's 117 cups of #coffee. Lets call it 105 after allowing for some waste. A £2.50 a cup that's £262.50. That's why coffee shops starting springing up everywhere. Now they're closing in droves
