I bought some maps from 1986 today. £1.
Here's a short bit from some current writing:
Suit man could live in a smoke tower, thirty stories high, with a pipe attached to a tube that took his tobacco fumes up to the top of the chimney. Friends would love him for pumping smoke back out of the place, ‘like it should be pumped’, pals would just love what he’d done with the place. Prelude would spend the night, and then abseil from the top in the morning. Suit man was probably more romantic than I’d assumed.
