Was just on one of my Twitters when someone posted a story about Croydon in bloom which as i live in Croydon and posted a story on my blog a while ago about how funny it was i went to have a look.........

Well when the page opened there at the top was a photo of a banner which looked familiar as it's not an everyday photo someone would take but i sat there thinking maybe it was just a coincidence, well after a closer look yes it was the photo i took as if you look at the photo you can see what i changed before i posted it lol

Croydon Enterprise just phoned me back and said there very sorry for using the photo without my permission and they have removed it from there site

I said i'm still not happy as under copyright laws it's classed a theft and under the terms of there site it says they own all images and there copyrighted so i want to take this farther so someone from there press office is going to phone me tomorrow
 
Update after they spoke to there lawyers they got back to me and offered me payment for the image which i accepted and asked for the cheque to be made out to the alzheimer's society which i think they were a bit surprised with but i said some good may as well come out of this :)
