How to leave your comment

Comments can be made at this photo's flickr page, here. To leave comments on that page you will require a Yahoo login.

I am currently working on a simpler way of adding comments to this page (and a far less time consuming one for those without a Yahoo login), but for now, use flickr.

you were too quick! i've now posted the caption and link to the story. this was a couple of years ago (but the comments in the blog post still apply -- the revised policy is still absurd).

Nice article Joe. Incidentally, I know Cleveland Street well. I used to go to Middlesex House quite regularly, which is a lovely (1934) Art Deco building just opposite the junction with Riding House Street. :-)

Thanks, y'al. @Homemade: oh dear :(. people still use websense? @Mike-DT6: what a coincidence -- my company were based in Middlesex House until a year ago. It is indeed a nice building -- at least, on the outside.
