Jonathan Meades Quotes

The Two Mast Houses Just Within The Victory Gate Of Portsmouth Dockyard Are Raised Above The Water On Piloti. They Are Structures Of Remarkable Grace, Clinker-built, Painted The Palest Green. They Are Vast, As They Needed To Be. Their Survival Is An Industrial Site Devoted For A Century To The Servicing Of Mastless Vessels Is A Matter For Celebration. The Use Of Which The More Southerly Is Put Is A Matter For Obloquy: The Mary Rose Shop Is A Repository Of Tawdry, Insipid Tat. It's The Sort Of Stuff To Make Me Wince- A Dismal, Timid Inventory Of Mediocrity. Bad Taste Is Forgivable. It's No Taste Which Is So Disheartening.
