Photographic Value Pack !
Guys n gals maybe you can give some advice here. I am playing around with the idea of putting together a value pack of items that I can pick up at great prices in China (from my local mall in many instances) and that would provide great value for money for a lot of people. It's only really worth ...

I give up trying to help I really do.
It's really the same a when someone puts a "for sale postcard" in a shop window, the shopkeeper takes it down as soon as he knows it's been sold. It can make it difficult for someone (as well as the OP) who's trying to find the thread to check back on details to compare with another offer etc. Th...

Photographers stop and search to be cut, says Home Secretary
Good news, but I love this propagandic crap from the Official Borg .. The ACPO spokesman added: 'The threat remains real and serious and stop and search has helped deter and disrupt terrorist activity and create a hostile environment for terrorists. Protecting the public remains our priority.' ...

Photographers stop and search to be cut, says Home Secretary
ACPO, a private company part funded by the tax payer and their own commercial activities? So they sell something for profit, to fund activities that are supposedly in our interests in the name of law and order but have to hide behind private company status so we the protected public can not hold ...

I always understood that ACPO was the Association of Chief Police Officers Yes ACPO a private limited company allowing the chief police officers to hide behind a fig leaf of privacy while they do stuff that could be done as an accountable public body. It smells a bit funny. Mark Kennedy was work...

For Oggy
Thanks Gwyn. I watch them (although they are hiding at the moment. They get up to some really funny things. One of them decided to stand up on hind paws on the edge of the water then fall over backwards into the water. As he /she hit the water, a good shove from the hind legs sent the bear on h...

What is it with these cash back people. Claimed in November and they still have issues with the written receipt from SRS. Has anyone else suffered this problem? Sent a copy at least four weeks ago but they now claim this not received. And it is three cheers for SRS who have spoken to Pentax ...

cash back
Interesting. I send my cash back via recorded delivery and got my money about four weeks later in the bank. I do not trust RM at all so everything of any value TO ME I always send it via recorded or ask to have it send via recorded. I may be in the minority but I have had at least 15-20 items gon...

John. They received my claims form with the written receipt showing SRS Vat number for a purchase in November. They phoned me stating that this was not a Vat receipt. They required a Vat receipt to comply with the Cash back offer. I contacted SRS who commented that they had issued many written...

I doubt very much that it was a delaying tactic, but obviously have no idea what went wrong. Still, as long as you were paid that's the main thing.

cash back
I have just received a call from a member of the 'cash back' team to reassure me that I will receive my £120 some time next week stating that they now have the 'receipt' As all they have is what I sent in November I can only speculate why the delay and phone calls. John. I do not agree that being...

Talgarth. Was that where you were thinking of? This was three years ago - I noted that the projector loft was empty! Yep, that's the one. Not sure about the projector but they definitely had the screen as I've spoken to the chap who brought it back (and operated it a few times while rigging...

I went back to RAF Upwood today. Did some buildings I missed the last time. Found the huge boiler room which serviced the many dorms with hot water and heating. ASBESTOS CITY!!! Huge 2 foot diameter pipes lagged with the stuff, and some of it was crumbling off too. Looked positively e...

I've had a word with a friend who is in the business of asbestos removal. His advice is to leave asbestos alone. "If left, the danger is not great, but if disturbed it's extremely hazardous. Although in theory a single fibre is enough to cause trouble... He wears a mask marked P3 and this will...

It's never to be taken lightly. Best regards I agree. I'm going back to UpWood tomorrow. I won't be going back in the boiler room.

Which tripod?
Go to the Focus on imaging show, soon at the NEC Birmingham, not only will almost every tripod available in the UK be there to play with, but you will find show offers, which will probably mean that the saving you make on the tripod will pay for the trip.

I do it all the time, hardly ever blow anything up... I'd be interested to hear about those occasions when something did blow up Don! :D When I was younger, like ten or twelve I can't remember exactly... my friend down the road from my Gramma's had gotten an Estes Model Rocket kit for his birthday. ...
