Well Donarto seems to do okay with his “Bostin” shirts f’the Black Country, but I’m not sure the Brum dialect has anything as juicy.

Local vernacular as fashion item? It could catch on. Tangetal: I revisited my roots in the West Country the other weekend and was pleased to see a T-shirt which read “Gert Lush” being proudly worn.

Great phrase. I'm trying to think of something even more radical too, a way for visitors to collectively curate a collection - not quite got there yet, but it's something to think about. Now if someone would just give me £300,000 to do it ;) “A folksonomy built on a taxonomy?”

Almost every fact can look different from many different perspectives. Individual experts can hint at this but have insufficient experience to bring it out fully. It takes a whole community to tell history and crowd sourcing these stories is a great aproach. The Back to Backs are what I consider one enormous social object. Every tour of those buildings is different because the story your hear depends on the company your keep. There is always someone granddad/mother/great aunt who lived that life and can share their experiences. Thats what we need - Museums full of social objects and the means for people to record their experience of them/story related to them. A folksonomy built on a taxonomy?
