   Is there to be no Corduroy Mansions in the Telegraph this year? Since the demise of the AMC forum, I have no way of keeping up with other fans and details of what will and won’t be published… this ‘blog’ does not encourage the same flow of information.
   I wish the administrators of this blog would bring back the forum.
   I did suggest this to them before but they did not agree
   :-(
