There was also an electrical adapter plug loose in the box - a 3-pin 13 amp plug into the base of which a continental 2-pin plug can be fitted. It will come in handy but God knows why it was sent, it isn't needed.
So was the charger fitted with a UK three pin plug, or have you just chopped off the continental one and fitted your own?

Last year, I had to take my Optio WPi to Pentax for repair. I had purchased it from Pixmania. They repaired it under warranty, but the girl who checked it in said that they "had issues with pixmania".

A bit abrupt perhaps, especially to a new member who has yet to appreciate the subtleties of this forum. There IS a benefit in being a little tactful at times.

To ITSME
Welcome to the forum, I trust you will become a regular and valuable contributor. You are not the first, and certainly will not be the last to be wrong footed by Pixmania - or by anything that could be indirectly or directly construed as a grey import. I have a wonderful family who try hard to provide my (surprise) technical xmas and birthday presents, but it is frustrating when I have researched exactly what and where, and they go somewhere else! Still, it would be ungrateful to grumble!

Regards and good shooting

Graham
Keep up the good work

I'll think of something someday.

Whoops!

Sorry, got my wires crossed with another thread, I thought we were talking about a K10D.
The inclusion of the adaptor must have thrown me.

No worries, impotentspider. I thought you were assuming I should have received a charger with my *ist DL, which of course I didn't.

And thank you for your kind words, Old Timer. I worked with the public for 28 years, during which time I developed a very thick skin, so it takes much more to bother me than the remarks you refer to.

It's a problem with email, it's all to easy to type something in a hurry and hit the send key without properly considering what you have just written.

I am relatively new to forums, & still learning, but I'm more familiar with a Yahoo Group I'm in, where extremely long messages are commonly posted in continuous blocks of text, sometimes about 5 pages worth!

You are quite right. Apologies, Itsme.
