(25 Mar 2015, 5:29 pm)Jimmi Well he has Jimmi his name on the profile description so he may have had that longer than me as his account was set up in May and mine was in September.
However I have Jimmi as part of my profile name so it would probably confuse my followers if it was to disappear.
It would be like Tom on here asking Flickr user tomstransportphotos to change his Flickr profile name because they have the same name.
Him calling himself Jimmi's Bus Nets would be even more confusing as it would look like I'd set up a second account.

I can't help but think this whole 'Jimmi Flickrgate' thing has been blown way out of proportion.
Some child has requested that Jimmi should change his Flickr account name. Jimmi is under no obligation to do so irrespective of the amount of time he's been on Flickr, or the amount of effort each has put into their profiles. As both accounts are currently active and seemingly have different areas of interest it's unlikely, in my view, that one is going to be confused with the other - has anyone done so before this request? There is no need for disclaimers or drafted personal statements, if Jimmi's shots are indeed superior and appeal to a wider audience then surely other users will continue to view his profile - just as they are now! Have some faith in your work!
A simple 'no' to the child's request will suffice or, if you feel a stronger response is appropriate, go with Aureolin's suggestion.

(26 Mar 2015, 11:33 am)Jimmi I am not bothering replying to his requests to change my name anymore as from what I am aware I am under no obligation do to so.
The simple fact is other people have the same name as you, I have just gone onto the find friends section and there is hundreds of people with the name Jimmi including another Jimmi who also creates nets (although his last upload was two years ago - although this could be him to as this one also lists the hometown as Portsmouth) if this isn't him is he also going to ask him and all these other Jimmi's to change their names for fear it may cause confusion. I like to think it is like Twitter with the @names, correct me if I'm wrong but you can't have the same @name as someone else.
I don't see how exactly people would get content mixed up as he lives in Portsmouth whilst most of my content comes from the North East and his Photostream is mostly nets whilst mine is actual bus photos in a different part of the country, the worry is coming from the fact the nets requires that they place there name on there and he is just placing Jimmi as his name which is where the fear is coming from as there has been complaints regarding the copyright of the content on his Photostream so there is the slight worry that people could think I am involved.
I have just edited my profile information to say "I only post my own content on Flickr on this Photostream, so if you see any content elsewhere on Flickr with the name Jimmi it is unlikely to be my content"
If he got really wound up about me not changing my profile name I would change it... to Jimmi's Bus Photographs (in fairness he didn't say what aspect of my profile name he wanted me to change).

(26 Mar 2015, 12:52 pm)Tommy_1581 I find it odd that (other) Jimmi has photos dated January 2006 of a bus that has a 57-reg.
I also note the colossal copyright infringement on his photostream, it probably won't be long until my "Northern Greyhound" nets appear on there under a new guise.
I would just leave your name as it is and let him cry about it - also does it work like WordPress? If you change your name, someone can't gain the old name?

Right I think we've said all there really is to say on the whole "Jimmi" thing now so lets move on...

(28 Mar 2015, 9:46 pm)Robert I hate you now. I have just seen what your new profile picture is of...
Seeing as Tuesday is the anniversary of his death, and as I bang on about him so much, I may as well share with you all an image of my grandad:
Feeling in the mood for a Full English Breakfast tomorrow...
Anyone know of any good places within a stone's throw of Durham Bus Station?

(30 Mar 2015, 9:12 pm)aureolin Spoons, but you might as well go to the Wicket Gate one instead.
Aside from that, there's nowt decent really.

(30 Mar 2015, 9:15 pm)MarcTheA4 Thanks. Think I might just play it safe by getting something from Pickwick's in Chester-le-Street. No idea what time they finish breakfast, mind.
Wasn't planning on a long time in Durham, just as long as I've got some photos by the time I come back, I'll be satisfied!

(30 Mar 2015, 9:18 pm)MurdnunoC There must be some dirt-cheap greasy-spoon somewhere within the vicinity of North Road in which you can play the culinary equivalent of Russian Roulette. If not - there should be!

Best you can do for breakfast is literally the Spoons.
