But isn't it nice that so many of them are concerned about your state of health ?

Quite touching (Not) !
Aside of the content, which I generally enjoy, one of the great things about your blog is it's absence of advertising. Your clear disdain for the 'commercial world', especially as we're in London, is refreshing, as is the unreconstructed and low-tech feel of the site. Long may it continue!
Internet nostalgia - I still long for the days of the old 'London Transport' site from the late 90s, everything just one of two clicks from the opening screen, now it's more like a major excavation, one of the few advantages of a dial-up connection was that it forced websites to have as little'fat' as possible - now you add as much lard as you want - then top it with icing.

As for marketing - it is the art of dealing with people who wish you were dead, just relentlessly going through the same routine time and time again.
"in my continued attempt not to get any more" ...easy, disconnect from the internet. Otherwise do as most of us do and accept that this is part and parcel of what it is to be 'connected'.

There is a fine line between "marketing outreach" and someone letting you know about something you might find interesting; surely you have to tolerate a bit of one to get the other? How did you find out about the Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park Summer Fair for instance? (and Joanna's blog sounds perilously close to bits of your own!)
I suppose that an Affiliate Partnerships Manager at an Online Estate Agency is one of the exciting range of new jobs that the government is always claiming to have been responsible for recently.

It makes being a delivery driver sound quite exciting, don't you think.
oh... now I know where my email inviting you to read a short story of mine ended up! :)

you thought it was my marketing ploy hahaha
You're fooling no-one.

We know this whole blog is a twenty year marketing plan to sell anoraks and London Underground merch.

(@Andrew S) My intepretation: He only wants to actively seek promotional messages whenever it suits his mood or plans. Anything that is in the slightest bit forced upon him would be harshly treated.
Treu fact, in a bid to save money TFL have binned all marketing for the Dangleway thanks to the success of this blog in promoting it!
How long before TfL accepts the inevitable, and officially renames it the Dangleway?

(Does the new mayor recognise the Dangleway as a key piece of transport infrastructure, or as an expensive minor tourist attraction?)
