Why you need to see paintings in real life - the wonderful brush strokes in Sargent & Fashion @Tate

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...

1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV

Shirley Conran was the best and most generous interviewee. Every line (I see the Times obit has filleted this) funny and clever and sharp. I loved meeting her, though I never wore the lace shorts https://t.co/4OXlnDlvu1
