Two tents
Second night of the tour on which we have to camp out. We’ve one pretty big tent for all of us, it’s still cosy inside.
Last night I kipped on a mate’s settee, but don’t really feel refreshed. As I left half of my clothes on the Isle of Wight I’m still wearing everything from yesterday—and that feels odd.
So far the piers I’ve liked most have been the closed and burnt ones, they’re poignant in a way that rotting concrete or rotten slot machines can’t be. Arson as a civic duty?
Jon was voted the ‘14th Most Influential Person in the West Midlands’ in 2008. Subsequently he has not been placed. He’s been a football referee, venetian blind maker, cellar man, and a losing Labour council candidate: “No, no chance. A complete no-hoper” said a spoilt ballot. Jon wrote and directed the first ever piece of drama performed on Twitter when he persuaded a cast including MPs and journalists to give over their timelines to perform Twitpanto. But all that is behind him.
