“Here comes the sun… well not quite, but we’ve got that holiday feeling so pack up the melamine picnic set as the modernist is getting Carried Away to Birmingham and beyond.”

Its June 2013, year 2 of the modernist, and in our ‘Carried Away’ issue we were looking forward to our summer holidays ‘tickets please and get ready to board….’

So,, here we go again.. at the original cover price of £4.50, albeit in digital download form.

‘The thrilling promise of the overhead monorails at fun fairs and Expos was never fully realised but the launch of the M1 in 1959 set us off on a tarmacked gateway to the world, well to the Midlands at any rate. The coach trip had never been so glamorous and the enchantment of picking up a pasty in the nowhere land of our nation’s great service stations has yet to be bettered for some..’

Other digital issues are available here.
