Re the community garden audio clips, I did also make recordings of Brian Greatorex and a couple of the kids but they didn't come out very well. However, I'm keen to do some vox pop stuff on Portobello High Street and I'm looking for at least one other volunteer to help me out with it.
Being able to add audio and video to the site has added a whole new dimension and it's an area I would like to expand but these files use up a lot of memory, so we need to find a more generous web host.

Bob, I have no doubt that you mean well, but in two posts about very worthwhile things (community centre and tennis court) you have subjected us to yet another picture of La Childs and some audio of Larry and Mo.
In my humble opinion, and with all due respect, would it not have been better to perhaps picture the newly refurbished courts / clubhouse instead of (or as well as) the unrefurbished Childs?
And in the case of the community centre, whilst I'm sure that Lazza and Mazza gave you good copy, should we not be hearing from people who can now play pool, punch, bbq, internet and prune?
Historians are always wary of anecdotal and third-party reports of events and much prefer things to be first hand. By supplying us with the beef (that is, a record of someone potting, hitting, grilling, surfing or weeding) instead of one of our esteemed local representatives standing in front of said participant(s), are you not providing a better record for future generations?
I do not attempt to denigrate the pivotal position in our community of Lawrence or Maureen. If a 26 ran over Mo's morning Guardian I would expect you to post a picture of it and her, and carry a quote. But if a 26 ran over my foot, I would question the value of wheeling out Maureen for a picture and quote while I hopped to Little France.
Respectfully.
