Sometimes it just takes someone else to point out the obvious

Love number two, the colours are great. Held a piece of card over the left of the first one to turn into a vertical shot and I think it looks better, but thats only my opinion.

With the exception of stepping back into your comfort zone. I'd stick with this subject until you can make it work. (IMHO)

If so, I'd be very interested.
Thanks.

To be totally pedantic about this .
Hello is actually the American spelling of hallo, dating from 1833, when it was first seen in print in the American book The Sketches and Eccentricities of Col. David Crockett, of West Tennessee.
So to be truly English about it you should spell it hallo, as the Dutch and Germans do. It comes from old German in any case.
Hi was first recorded as being used in the speech of a Kansas Indian. Based on hey or hy, from middle English, from about 1475.
Hallo, used in England as a greeting, is derived from the exclamation of surprise "Hullo".
As in " Hullo! What have we here".
And, strangely enough. "Wotcha!" predates "Hello" as a greeting.
But I'd rather use Hi!

Being English, I say "Hello". I am not a member of the current fad of speaking American. Born English and proud to be English!
And I am usually so careful not to use Americanisms

And in all of these incidents, it appears that PCSOs act without common sense.
Refusing to give details after a car crash is not comparable as there has been an incident.
But, to continue with that analogy: would it be acceptable to have to give your details when you are getting into your car, just in case you are about to speed? .
If you were buckeling[sp?] your children in and a PCSO came along and demanded to know where you were going and asked for your details, just in case you didn't have a license, that would be seen as unreasonable. Surely that is a similar thing?

Greytop has a valid point. What if you keep getting stopped for this "anti-social behaviour"?
Would you finally reach a tipping point after 3 or 4 times, where the police might feel you are a "repeat offender" and try to take it further? Regardless of whether there is anything in law to allow them to take it further, you still get all the hassle.
If you are doing nothing wrong then you have nothing to hide?
Sorry, but:
If you are doing nothing wrong then you don't need to account for your actions.
(IMHO )
