The first year I watched the marathon, after I moved here, there were geezers standing outside this now-dead pub drinking Stellas, smoking fags and shouting abuse at the runners. I was genuinely shocked at the time.

London Marathon morning: one of the best days in my neighbourhood. Some years you have to prepare by applying sun cream, others you put on a Parka and thermals. It’s a sun cream event so far.

Stocked up with two cans of “session IPA” and an M&S ham sandwich for my Leeds-London train journey, just as St George would have done.

I think a lot of the “can’t believe people are using ChatGPT for search!” discourse underplays the fact that people are using it as an alternative to uber-SEO’d, ad-driven Google search, and it’s as much a reflection of how crap that experience is now as anything else.
