What about our post office?
I am currently in London but was saddened to receive the following email from Dr Michael Pritchard. ”TG Jones, which was previously WH Smith, in Union Street, has signage up today announcing its closure. A shame but not unexpected. The concern though is what happens to the only post office in Bath city centre when TG Jones does close. It’s always busy. Located on the upper floor, it was part of WH Smith, when it took over a lot of post offices, and before that in Northgate Street.” Will another retail outlet offer post offices space?n

Raise a glass
It may not have ended up with a kerbside presence, but generations of Bathonians knew exactly where the Great Wine Company was based over the years, on its journey from Wood Street to the Wells Road. Earlier this month, it closed its physical doors for good - though it will retain an online operation. On this very subject, I received an email from a young man who had worked at the shop alongside Alan Nordberg, the well-known manager who was also retiring after 30 years behind the counter.

Really looking forward to attending the launch of the Deep Time Trail at Siccar Point later today. Huge congratulations and thanks are due to Angus, @scottishgeology.bsky.social and the Edinburgh Geological Society for all their work pulling this together for the James Hutton Tercentenary.

Social media posts claiming that Dorset Police said 44% of sex offences are carried out by asylum seekers living in asylum hotels are false. We could find no evidence this is true. Dorset Police told us the figure is “incorrect” and was not issued by them.
