hmmm, to what end....

surely this has been done by any number of the larger museums, galleries, art collections.

They have a budget that must be spent to justify :-

The need for highly paid BBC administrators ;

and the need for an increase in BBC license fees to facilitate the recruitment of more administrators.

I fondly remember the good old days when Radio Caroline ruled the Waves - all for free.

No need to read too much into it Alan. It was just a site for people who like paintings, there are plenty of people about who do :)

I think that's really cool.

Bookmarked that for a longer "perusal". Lots of good stuff I would probably never have seen if not for this.

Nice one hazel.
