The Wodge. That’s what the Guardian’s Oliver Wainwright is calling 22 Bishopsgate, London’s biggest Big Thing. Will “wodge” catch on? My guess: no. Everyone knows what a gherkin looks like, or a scalpel. But wodge? What is a wodge?
Maybe 22 Bishopsgate will end up being called the “Big Thing”.
To me, the Marina Bay Sands will always be “The Great Thing of Singapore”.
But that is just me.

Wodge seems a good enough name. I’m not sure what else you could call it.
“in the age of coronavirus, who wants to jostle for 60 lifts with 12,000 others”?
Good question. I do miss going into the office. My place of work has some very pleasant places to sit and chat to people. But I’ll probably only go it 2 to 3 days per week instead of every day, even if things do go back to normal. My employer will probably re-jig the desk-to-meeting-room ratio according to such changes in behaviour.
What would really make this an easy thing to do is if the train companies invent some sort of 3-day-per-week season ticket.
