Replies: 161 Campaign To Keep The Arndale Clock Views: 6,685 Posted By WillowTheWhisp Re: Campaign To Keep The Arndale Clock No "fault" on your part Roy but just a pity that the Observer couldn't at least have named the website and given it credit for the source of the photo.

Replies: 161 Campaign To Keep The Arndale Clock Views: 6,685 Posted By WillowTheWhisp Re: Campaign To Keep The Arndale Clock Yep that definitely looks like my original photo. In which case did they get it from the website? Did they ask if they could use it? Or is it taken for granted that any photo on the internet is in...
