Today (Friday, 27th June 2008) I am set to appear on BBC London on the Robert Elms radio show at about 12.40pm.You can listen to this via the web or tune in on a digital or traditional radio (frequency is 94.9fm) or even get it through your digital TV if you live in London.
If you're not familiar with the show it features lots of good music but also has a regular slot where you can call in with something 'mysterious' you've spotted around London and other listeners then phone in to help unravel the mystery. A couple of weeks ago they were talking about the Herbrand Street Mural which we now know all about but, at the time, this site was coming up as the number one hit in Google searches for "Herbrand Street Mural". There was a visible 'spike' in the visitor numbers to this site which I then learned was from listeners trying to find stuff out. On the back of this I contacted the show, hence today's appearance.
I'm not sure what we'll be talking about but it'll be interesting to attempt to convey what is quite a visual subject through a sound only medium. I'm sure we'll touch on some classic London signs so to follow are some pictures to add to your listening experience!

Great stuff well done. Just re listened on the BBC website. I think you were about to mention the Gramaphone RIP before Robert interupted you. Nevermind was brilliant anyway. Im sure you'll be getting loads of new pics now. I think Flickr need a Ghost Signs LDN Group
