Benched
The sad demise of the church pew
Cutting corners
The NHS is letting down patients in small, crucial ways
Born again
The rise of the secular godparent
Customer disservice
The insidious creep of corporate friendliness
Mourning sickness
Why are we so scared of other people’s grief?
Out of the picture
The inevitable listlessness of this year’s awards season
Good grief
A proper funeral is a great comfort
Sets appeal
The distracting beauty of TV backdrops
Stubbed out
Virtual tickets just aren’t the same
Choice cuts
Covid has exposed our muddled thinking about food
Poor form
The lower-sixth has so much to lose from lockdown
Wartime romance
Sentimentalising the Blitz is hardly ‘Blitz spirit’
