I almost never listen to the radio, but what an unexpected delight sitting in a café and listening to Gary Davies on Radio 2. I feel fourteen again. I grew up with all the best DJs (I expect everyone feels this way).

Some of this is probably good advice, but the last one?! How could I even drink from a sealed container? Does anyone know what they are actually trying to say?
No E-scooters
Sorry but we don’t carry any e-scooters on the Metro
Please keep your feet off the seats
Please don’t eat hot food onboard

In D.C. a friend of mine was reading the ‘The Exorcist’. He felt it was the most evil book he’d ever read. So evil he couldn’t finish it. One weekend he threw the book into Chesapeake Bay. I went 2 a bookstore. Bought another copy. Ran it under water. Put it in his desk draw.” The text is white on a black background.
