Letter: Launch of the great red dot friendship campaign

Published 24 July 2024

From Charles Joynson, Rayleigh, Essex, UK

I have an idea related to David Robson’s look at scientific rules of connection that could improve your social life. One way for pubs, parks, libraries and other social spaces to help would be to paint a large red dot on the ground. This would be a place where people who want to develop new friendships could meet (1 June, p 40).
