Very entertaining – both the crossword and the comments above. I know of both bands, but it’s many years since I listened to anything by HMHB and I definitely can’t claim to have spotted the Nina.

Your starter for 10 last night: “What innovative band is the subject of Jon Savage’s oral history ‘This Searing Light, The Sun and Everything Else”? The band released two 1980s albums, ‘Closer’ and ‘Unknown Pleasures’.” I know of both bands, but as the few songs that I’d heard by Joy Division were anything but joyful, I gave them a miss thereafter. Based on the above lyrics, Half Man Half Biscuit sound much more fun – perhaps it’s time to take a listen!

You don’t start fuming when you can’t work out how to turn the bedroom lights off in an over-designed boutique hotel? JOY– Judge On Yacht “first of all”. TRANSPORT for joy comes from the sense of being taken out of oneself, usually now in a positive sense, but can be any strong emotion including rage or hate, which makes rather ambiguous JSC Abbott’s 1854 quote in the OED about Napoleon being ‘hailed with transport wherever he appeared’. Sent/transported/ecstatic crops up a bit and is worth remembering. Spot on 20 minutes for me, so right on the cusp of escaping the SCC. My favourite clues were OVEN GLOVES and MINI (very clever), and PICCALILLI is one of my favourite relishes (especially a home-produced version, available from my local farmers’ market). I somehow remembered the meanings of YAMMERED and EMENDS, from a previous QC, but DNK transport = JOY and could not fully parse IRON ON.Because the ideas touched people and influenced them. And because they were on a record cover and because some of those records were great, those ideas went to a lot of people. The interesting synergy between this fabric collection and the work that people have loved of mine is that it’s exactly the same thing. It’s an idea. It’s an idea about aspects of life. And connecting. This fabric connects a reality from the agricultural world, a reality from landscape and a reality from the rural environment. It connects that directly to something that you might live with. And so it’s an idea, and it’s uncompromised. There was no commercial remit bought to me by Kvadrat. There were no reservations, there were no limitations. It’s purely one idea transported from one place to another.

But I didn’t earn any money. It was at the beginning [of launching the label, in 2001, another Saville logo] and it was a start-up. I mean there was always work. There was no shortage of work! But I wasn’t being paid. This last ten years that has not been the case. People approach me from really diverse sectors, which is unusual. Sport, fashion, culture, politics, textiles. And now cars. And they come wanting me to do it. They’re aware of the fact it has value. And because I’m not trying to support a studio or employ a dozen I’m not compromised. I’m 66 now. I really don’t want time to go by on things that I don’t want to do. A 25 you accept it. At 35 you accept it. At 45 you accept it.

Bottom up solve so it was my LOI and I didn’t spend too long parsing it… Enjoyable fare. Spotted the Joy Division reference but didn’t see the other connections. To say that was niche is an understatement. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!
