@Martinhoward966 Thanks! Yes, I was wondering about Dorset House last night. Do you know anything extra about the architectural fun? I’d love to find out more.
Martinhoward966 @gothick Historically there was indeed a Georgian house on the site before it was bombed (but not called Gaywood House) .. However the Palladian portico is just a bit of fun by a local architect, many decades after the original flats were built.
@peterjonesphoto It would’ve been batshit even back then; it’s nothing but little Victorian terraces around there…

ememess There’s some cutting edge tech involved in autocorrect, the way it can tell you’re already grumpy, frustrated or in a hurry, and so playfully substitutes words that are dumb, clearly wrong, or known only to scholars studying slang popular amongst seafarers in 14th century Lisbon.
