This totally resonates with us as a small independent shop. If anyone is needing some books please support @sapphirejbates
#BookTwitter we need your help! I run Book Bodega, an Indy bookshop in Ramsgate. Winter is killing us, it’s soo quiet & we need to make £800 by Tuesday to pay our bills. This is my current view = no customers 🥹. Please shop with us and help us stay open!

I mean, I'd have probably spelled CORONATION right, but whatever.
ALT A tweet from The Royal Family. (All of them? Do they get hundreds of the bastards together to plan tweets). "The new Coronation emblem has been unveiled!" And then a flowery crowny logo that says KING CHARLES III - CONORATION - 6TH MAY 2023.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The original post from @RoyalFamily spelled "coronation" correctly. This version has been photoshopped.

Thank you greatly @CityandLivery for highlighting Giles Corens piece in @thetimes
It has been an integral part of a developing narrative around @HartnellTaylorC and the Freeholder, believed to be Rodney Sacks, treatment of a historic part of @cityoflondon heritage

Thank you @guardian for raising the essential point:
"A city that can't save an institution like Simpsons is no sort of City at all"
We are a viable business of 265 years being extorted by @HartnellTaylorC Cultural Vandalism
This must not stand
