You are a reporter. You are not a historian.

You are a reporter.

Think of something you've seen today.

Like this: a mum takes her toddler down onto the narrow strip of shingle in front of the Royal Festival Hall at low tide to pee into the Thames

Start a text with BAC then a space.

Describe what you saw.
Remember the details that only
a witness would know.
Don't comment. Don't judge.
Write no more than 160 characters.

Like this: An old lady eating a fish. A fried fish on a white tray, no chips, in a doorway out of the rain, breaking bits off. Her pink bonnet like a 40s film star’s.

Send your text to Thumbprint
(it only costs the same as texting your friend's phone)

Each text that comes in will be written
on a blackboard in BAC.
It will only last until the next
message arrives.

What you write will be completely anonymous.
You can be as personal or intimate as you like.

If we reach 100 we will stop.
100 things is enough for any day. 

You are not a historian.
