Squeaky-Clean Phantom
Showing off a little here, guys. I've been invited to be immortalised by the British Library's web-archiving scheme - which seems pretty cool to me. It means that they take periodic 'snapshots' of the blog to save for the future.
Thing is, I have to sign (well, anonymously-sign, which I am surprised but pleased is allowed) a document to say that I either own copyright or have cleared copyright for stuff I use on the site. Most of this is easy - I write the copy and take the pictures, but I've been going through old posts removing images that might even whiff of 'copyright-iffy' and checking with odd people whose work I've used to make sure they're ok with being associated with me in the archive (for example ScaredOfChives's one-off piece about the Arsenal Football Club.) If I've missed anything do let me know.
In the meanwhile, in the future, if you send something to me, I will assume I can use it in the blog unless you say it's just for my eyes, in which case I will, of course respect your wishes.
Sorry for the dull post. It was supposed to be a "Whoo-hoo! I'm going to be in the British Library!" entry and ended up being a really tedious downer about copyright...

I think you're lovely
Aw shucks...
Well in that case a Whoo-hoo from all of us who love you - well done.
Well done, the up to the minute Samuel Pepys. Which means all of my comments will be alot more refined and erudite from now on; init d'ya no wot i meen
Thanks folks! And of course as Bendict points out - all your thoughts will be in there too. All our thoughts about this fantastic (and often ignored by the rest of the city) part of town will be collected in a little box somewhere in the bowels of the BL. Now THERE'S a place I'd like to see inside (not the library itself - that's relatively easy - I mean the many layered underground bunker...)
In all honesty, I've seen the BL bowels, and they're pretty much like all bowels, better outside than in. Wait, that doesn't work... hmph.
Hi Greenwich Phantom,
I am in Year three at St Josephs primary school, Greenwich and i have been asked to do a project on how Greenwich has changed.
I went on the tourist office walk with my mum today.
We'll also be going to the Heritage centre next week, but I wondered if you could help me. I was born in 2000, and would like to know about any changes since then to the present day. I have a brilliant picture of lovell wharf coming down.
Many thanks,
Joseph W
