  • Comparing the websites for Apple’s primary desktop computer, and the same from Dell and HP. Ouch!
  • "Ever since Truman’s closed the brewery in 1989 after more than three centuries of brewing in Brick Lane, their absence has been felt throughout East London, emphasised by all the ex-Truman’s pubs that are still emblazoned with the name as part of their architecture. Meanwhile, the venerable history and resonant name of Truman’s – which remains synonymous with beer in East London – got lost in series of corporate takeovers at the end of the last century. They were sorely missed. And it looked like it was all over, the barrel was empty, the last glass had been drunk and the dregs had been drained. But now, in an entirely unexpected joyous development, two fearless young men are bringing Truman’s back."

    Interesting I hadn’t heard this. Will look out for it around East London. Once the world’s biggest brewery when the docks were in their heyday!
