If the caption fits…

Friday, January 18th, 2008

I’ve thought on and off that it would be good to have something like an ‘object of the week’ on the site. But that’s a task I’ll delegate to someone else… before they all run and hide.

Meanwhile, how about a caption competition? I’ve spent some of today putting together an advert to go on the large visitor maps that will be going up round East Lothian shortly. In a small service like this one, you have to do a bit of everything. we don’t have a marketing person (or an admin person, or a finance person, or a human resources person* and so on). One of the pictures I was going to use was this one:

Victorian children, 1890s

It occurs to me that we have a lot of pictures ripe for captioning (if that is a word). Something like, “…and this afternoon kids, we’re going to the museum!” perhaps?

No prizes, just kudos I’m afraid, but if you have any ideas the comment box is below.

* ‘Personnel person’ seems, well, too, erm, personal IYSWIM.
