From the "to read" pile comes The Construction Historian winter 2022.
Interesting article on the evolution of the concrete filling station canopy.
Rather disappointing article in the George Wimpey & Co No Fines system of housing. I read it believing that the "No Fines" system was going to be something socially radical that current house builders and planners might learn from. It turns out to be a type of concrete.

With the #arevo app from #RACV, I just discovered I can save 4c at #Woolworths #AMPOL #EG #petrolstations + with 4c through Woolworths Rewards

For those in #Victoria #Australia using an #ICE not #EV, that's pretty helpful

Same goes for #Linkt 4c + #Coles 4c and of course the #7eleven price lock in

Ultramar, Oxshott Ultraserve, High Street, Oxshott, Surrey, 1980.

One of Ultramar's flagship company-owned sites, by the look of it: this photo with its delightful roses is from the company's 1980 annual report. This garage is now MFG Oxshott Service Station, an Esso site.
