The traditional British picnic
The columnist Richard Morrison ponders the British tradition of picnics. "That we are a nation of eccentrics has never been seriously doubted, either by foreigners or natives. But there's something about the word 'picnic' that brings out a specially looney streak in the British temperament – something that goes well beyond eccentricity. We are talking serious insanity here, tinged with pride, stoicism, a stubborn refusal to bow to the inevitable – and all those other qualities that may seem mightily impressive ... but look pretty daft when applied to the task of fixing a spoonful of clotted cream to the top of a scone in a stiff breeze and light drizzle while perching in a dinner jacket on a collapsible canvas stool. These thoughts crossed my mind last Saturday when I attended the opening evening of the Glyndebourne [open-air] opera season. ... Of course, it is a British citizen's inalienable right – and indeed duty, before global warming turns the Home Counties into Tunisia – to shiver round a picnic at any time and in any place. It's just that at Glyndebourne the corporate suits take their picnics very seriously indeed."

The Barbican's 25th birthday
Richard Morrison admires the "best run and most critically acclaimed arts centre in Britain" : "The Barbican Centre in London announced plans to celebrate its 25th birthday in March with 25 brilliantly devised 'landmark events', ranging from an Icelandic epic and an Islamic festival to glitzy concerts and a celebration of punk. At the same time its management unveiled the finishing touches to a £30 million transformation that has swept away the worst features of the once-derided architecture. ... Its £18 million subsidy comes not from the Government via its poodle, the Arts Council — with the mandatory clump of social-engineering strings attached — but from the City of London Corporation. Which, rather astonishingly, makes that local authority the third biggest funder of the arts in Britain. ... The Barbican is a shining example of the good things that can happen when politicians keep their clumsy fingers out of the pie."
