A week ago as people prepared to open their A-level results, GOV.UK popped up with a video encouraging people to download the app, to search a website. Which ICYMI prompted me to write about the more interesting reality that I hope exists next year.

bm.wel.byApps are pointless unless you actually app with themResults day is a useful test of the GOV.UK app: not whether government can put search on another screen, but whether the services underneath can finally work together around a person.

I only know it because many years ago I think I saw it on one of those listicle TV shows of iconic characters or something. Although Bernard Hill then familiar from all manner of things, just not actually Yosser.
