Please do not delete your twitter account. Go ahead and have fun with the new toys, maybe get better work done spending some focussed time talking to fewer people. But it took decades to establish the social networks and institutional understandings we have here.

Oh look it's 'brits don't eat spice' season.
1) We have millions of people from diaspora communities who very much do eat spices AND are every bit as British as me.
