Some nice news on the wireless this morning. Two petrol station canopies have been given listed building status. Long time fan of Googie so it's lovely to see it recognised. There was also a refreshing lack of harrumphing when the Today programme reported it - Good to see that it only takes about 40 years for bold architecture to stop causing knee-jerk criticism.
