It’s a place I’ve been wanting to visit for a long time, even before it became über well-known, thanks to the fantastic film ‘The Imitation Game’ that starred Benedict Cumberbatch.

When You Know You’re Too Used To Technology
Something odd happened the other day. Be it the beginning stages of already reaching ‘a certain age’, or just being a bit weird; the jury’s out.
