This is a bit of a non-blog really, so apologies for that. Just that if you get a chance to buy the magazine this week, turn to Tanya Gold’s restaurant review first. She’s done The Grand Hotel, Brighton and it’s the best bit of writing I’ve seen for a bit, here, there or anywhere. The Grand, she says, and hotels like it, are ‘made of nylon and ennui and could live, full-sized, in Ian McEwan’s head.’ The English Channel, meanwhile, is ‘a stretch of water so boring it looks more like paint…….(it) is a disgrace and it knows it, it doesn’t even try to be a sea.’
And there’s much more; she even mentions the food. Pathetic plugging one’s own mag on one’s own mag’s blogsite. But I couldn’t imagine where else you’d find that sort of writing.
Anyway, apologies. I’ll write something nasty about immigration or Monbiot later.
