@dracos Thanks, but I’m pretty sure I’d never been to Peckham back then.

@suegyford If only I had that data! I was so slapdash in my younger days.

Another quiz! Anyone know where a Spotlight record shop is/was? Probably somewhere in London or Bristol.

@megpickard @zzgavin The one on the left is quite like some I have which are Fopp, because the say so on the (larger) label. Not sure if this is the same though.

I should have spotted this. One down… twitter.com/DeanVipond/sta…

@philgyford The one on the right has a round Virgin one, under the big orange one if that helps.

@DeanVipond Oh yes, I should have spotted that! Good work!

@dwlt No problem! No worse than my guesses :)

@dwlt Ah, good thinking, ta. I can’t remember the last time I went into a Fopp!

@zzgavin Ta. That’d be my guess… I’m just not as confident as I’d like to be :)

Does anyone recognise these labels on CDs? Which shop they’re from? Fopp? HMV? Somewhere else?

I made some D3.js charts showing the years covered by books in a series compared to their publishing dates gyford.com/phil/writing/2…

@HowToWinAgainst Just arrived in the Barbican Library! (I’m not opening it; no spoilers.)

City of London, London, United Kingdom

@antimega @ukglo I miss the Simply Sausages shop.

@philgyford Philip Gyford, are you making a spreadsheet of where all your CDs came from? *drums fingers*

We broadcast a message into space. One word.

"Help," it said.

Ships showed up the next day. Scores of them.

"We thought you'd never ask."
