Glass Age was recently honoured with a mention in Private Eye magazine, not for any scandal, we hasten to add.

‘The Neophiliacs’, a long running series devoted to sayings about all things new (Brown is the new black, etc.), saw fit to include our recent headline ‘Chrome is the new black’. Not to be outdone, our sister publication What’s New in Building say they beat us to the post some months ago with ‘wood is the new grass’.

An appearance on the TV news quiz ‘Have I Got News for You’ is now firmly in our sights.
