[edit] Remove Fair Use Image tag

Some one keeps adding "a change this image " tag to the anglepoise image here. I am removing the tag for these reasons

(1) It's a promotinal use image. (2) It is a photo of the first production Anglepoise lamp and as such would be quite difficult to come accross today. To clarify: it is a specific model from the Anglepoise company. It is not any old anglepoise type lamp, from any old company. However if you do have a public version of the specific lamp, feel free to swap it. However plese stop tagging it to be changed as I dont believe it can be replaced so easily.--Trounce 12:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mention of The Soft Boys' Song?

Should there me a mention on the page that the lamp is the subject of the punk band The Soft Boys' song "(I Wanna Be) An Anglepoise Lamp?" I for one would never have known what an anglepoise lamp was had I not heard the song. ROG 19 18:27, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

  1. It has no relevance to the anglepoise lamp
  2. If one listed everywhere the anglepoise was mentioned, it would become an awfully long page.
