Hello all, I'm from the Wirral (just south of Liverpool if your unsure) and I've lurked here for a little while now reading and learning. I have a couple of old Pentax film cameras I have loved since I was very young and I'm interested in buying my first Pentax DSLR.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys and I apologise now for any stupid questions I ask later on.

Cheers,
Phil

The Wirral - just a short walk across from Liverpool !

My wife lived in New Brighton and worked at Squibb's for a while. I remember driving along the sea front in stormy weather and as a wave broke over the sea wall my car was covered in raw sewage!

Welcome Phil, looks like the NW continguent is growing, perhaps a meet at Seacombe ferry is in order.:

Thanks all for your replies. I live in Bromborough at the moment. Back in the family home after moving to Middlesbrough for 5 years (oh what we do for love).

@bforbes - I don't think they do. Well, not as often anyway. The police have a greater presence at the moment in those areas (my opinion only I must add).
