An apology from me to ALT text users.

I usually add descriptions which include humour to pics I upload, but I got some basics wrong:

It should NOT include:

"picture of"
"image of"

Screen readers announce an image as an image. “Image of a cat” would be read aloud as “image, Image of a cat”.

What? The Science Museum was lying to me all of those years?

Well, I hope someone has guessed what they really looked like and put some clothes on them in a film.

I am new. And I courteously acknowledge that I have made a gravy error, Johnathan. I am wrong and I say I am wrong.

And I appear to have not learned a damn thing from you, and that makes me even worserer.

Sorry. I have hindered rather than helped. Was applying... er... common sense and what I saw didn't seem right.

I am very very dim. And will accept any due punishment.

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

He did occasionally stray into a cor-blimey accent on those Brit Saturday morning TV shows for kids.

When I was very young, someone told me he was Welsh.

Ah. That's me not having a clue about the system.
Sorry to have wasted your time.

I know nothing about RSS and have never used it before, so it's possible that's the way an RSS website page should look - I wouldn't have a clue.
