@ObsidianUrbex@mstdn.social Borstal is a village on the outskirts of Rochester, Kent. It was the first place that they tried out youth prisons, hence the place name became associated with these institutions
@chris_colvin Working to free myself of Google. I moved to another email provider this time last year. Virtually no traffic on my old Gmail accounts.
