  1. Why not just call it Monday Reads now that it’s more or less a permanent fixture?

  2. The “Most trodden paths” maps are fascinating, especially the London one – there’s an waful lot going past my local pub!

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    The Crossrail piece suggests that some very sophisticate statistical analysis is going to be needed to see if there is a real “outbreak” of something, or simply Poisson statistics showing up a blip.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    I do hope Uber are not attempting the same tactics in London – would that, of itself, be illegal behaviour … ( IANAL & all that ) ?

  4. I would prefer to keep it as “Monday’s Friday Reads”. The brand started for a reason and why not carry on. As an oddity it also reflects the quirkiness of some of the articles. Perhaps quirky articles could come on a Monday and serious matters on a Friday?
