British Library immortalises tea site

A SITE which reviews tea and biscuits has just been inducted into the British Library's "hall of immortality" [surely immorality. Ed.].

Copies of www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com will be monitored and saved by the British Library from now until doomsday because it is quintessentially "British" site of popular culture, said Reuters.

The site is one of 800 which has been chosen in the past two years by the library as of possible interest to future scholars, at www.webarchive.org.uk. Apparently, it gets 60,000 views a week and "through the medium of biscuits, offers a nicely observed subtle string of social commentary."

The Inquirer site is not on the British Library's storage list. However huge numbers of our stories are listed on the site through various organisations, such as the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, that run copies of our yarns.

Well that is the way the cookie crumbles we guess.
