No worries - you can register for a month free on archive but then they will start charging, at least that is what it told me.

Is this the British backbone we're so proud of?

Not even getting involved with if the original decision is right or wrong

Ps and, absolutely, golf, tennis, soccer, baseball etc - NONE of those should be Olympic sports

I see nothing about charges for archive or anywhere to register. What I did notice the other day was that it no longer gets around the paywall. I wonder if what you've taken as archive charging is that it's archived a page as seen by a non subscriber and so includes the subscription offer for the Times?

ah, that actually makes sense and on closer look that is exactly what it has done, it is the subscription for the Times and not Archive itself. Good spot, and good news. However, the article is sadly not visible as it shows the first paragraph and then kicks into fading away and mentioning subsribing (to the Times!)
