No Way To Make A Living is a sociological space about work, generating discussion and exchange on what work, paid or unpaid, is like in today’s world

My GP writes notes straight onto the com­puter, and I’ve seen stu­dents try to keep up with lec­tures by typ­ing on an ipad. In these days of cheap laser jet print­ing, where even the smal­lest of busi­nesses can usu­ally afford to type up their signs, and there are few spaces left for pub­lic dis­plays of hand­writ­ing. Where I see them, I like to keep a record.

The Lon­don wine­bar has its menus hand­writ­ten, it’s a form of dis­tinc­tion don’t you know.

The writing’s a dif­fer­ent size, and is made with dif­fer­ent mater­ial to that used on adverts and pub menus. Liquid chalk pens are easy to use, it’s the writ­ing on a ver­tical sur­face that’s hard.

My favour­ites are the make-do notices. In, Out, and we’re not here.
