The #JardineHouse is now hosting a pretty under-publicised exhibition of its 50th anniversary (which actually spans over a century).

It only got mentioned in the conglomerate’s LinkedIn. Those interested in the business history of HK should check it out💰

[Vivian Kong @viviankonghk]

Really excited that my book with @cambUP_History @CambridgeUP, Multiracial Britishness: Global Networks in Hong Kong, 1910-45, will be out this Thursday on 2 November! Here's a glimpse of the contents page :)

@BBCr4today @SuellaBraverman #NetZero2030 targets are now ‘arbitrary’ ? I genuinely fear for the future of our planet & indeed the #UK with the current #UKGov at the #leadership helm. Short-term vote-speak now takes priority over everything else.

This one is for all the linguists and language nerds out there! Evolution of the word “hundred” in Indo-European languages. How cool is this!? Source: https://t.co/FkPWl5JwXR…

If anyone’s thinking of using @easyJet or @easyJetholidays this summer - think again. After 4 hours’ delay in @BristolAirport my flight summarily cancelled. No information. No help. Nothing.
