First port of call is Frank Sinatra's rendition of Cole Porter's 'I get a kick out of you' (Columbia Records version)
The font is Ar Hermann not Jokerman. It was deliberately intended to be frivolous, lacking any aesthetic gravitas.

Things free-software actually needs a replacement for, rather than more Alexa clones:
- the thing that remembers your wifi networks & passwords across Android devices
- the thing in GMail that notices "due dates" and creates optional reminders for them
- The thing that notices when email & SMS contacts have the same name and provides a button to merge them
- Yours?
@freemo A few days turned into a month plus. Local , regional and EU ekections here in Greece.plus a looming Legislative (General) Election next month. Plus all the nonsense back in the UK. Elections v opinion polls is a really important subject and I promise to come back to the subject as soon as I can! Ciao IMK

And Thatcher also brought in Right to Buy, which transitioned council housing stock in to private ownership.
* 1980 – 42% of the population live in council housing – Right to buy scheme introduced
* 2017 – Less than 8% of the population live in council housing – 40% of ex-council flats sold via Right to Buy are now rented out more expensively by private landlords
