Postmodern?

[edit]

@Dumelow: This doesn't look remotely postmodernist to me. Is the Private Eye column the only source giving that as the style? Seems well off the mark if so. What does it say? Ham II (talk) 10:00, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I no longer have the magazine, but found a source stating it is modernist so have switched it to that - Dumelow (talk) 11:35, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
