KYPBristol The Bank of England Bristol Branch moved into their new premises on the corner of Wine Street and High Street in 1963. It was designed by eminent architect Sir Howard Robertson who was, according to the bank, “not in the habit of building eyesores”. maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=b… pic.twitter.com/eRSQ68uf0y

SofieHagen Never ridicule someone for misspelling a word. It means they learned it from talking to people, which must have sucked.

@Opiumia @_pigeons_ If you can, soak just the nib section, maybe for an hour at first, see how it goes? No more than lukewarm water—you want to be as gentle as you can. There’s often not as much ink residue as you might expect, and it ususally dissolves fairly readily.

via Twitter Web App in reply to Opiumia

@Opiumia @_pigeons_ Yup, warmish water, try not to immerse for too long, flush as much water through as you can. One of these screw/plunger-style bottled-ink converters can be handy for back/forward flushing. pic.twitter.com/oEzRrQsFd0
