I would love to know if you asked anyone for permission, those who declined, those who agreed and, best of all, those who clamoured for inclusion without even being asked.

Looking at the banner photograph on the front page however shows one woman very much stuck in the past . . . smoking a cigarette in public . . . in 2023! – Yours, etc,
