The last time I was in M&S the men’s clothing section had been reduced to a small corner at the back of the first floor, the rest given over to women’s underwear which you have to navigate first - shades of a Father Ted episode!

Same here - except there was only one floor, and half of that was food. The men's section always had a few males in there looking anxious and confused at being confronted with choice. Perhaps they kept it small to help indecisive males.

Click and collect for free was useful, now it's pay to collect at a local collection point, pay for home delivery or collect for free at the nearest M&S but pay for parking and fuel (16 mile round trip).

Marks & Spencer shut its doors for the last time yesterday. Didn't even have a closing down sale, either.

Nothing said yet about what (if anything) will replace it. Can't be a Poundland, that's next door where Woolworths used to be. Strangely, a real photographic retailer is managing to survive further along the street - and they even sell Pentax.

The grandchildren (and their parents) have gone, the house is in a mess, food is running low, a trip to Tesco is imminent - but it's quiet again!!

Oooo, that's good!

Great sense of depth, the brickwork seems to sink into the screen. I bet it would look good printed big and hung on a plain wall.

Mesh chairs are definitely a good thing for people with bad backs, according to Mrs. Lubbyman. She has both. There's a mesh back and padded seat (the chair, not Mrs. L .). Getting the chair has made sitting at a desk comfortable for the first time for years. The problem round here is finding a place where you can try it before buying. Staples used to be the place to go but that has gone. The place we used has just closed its shop and become internet only.

I'm finding it hard to picture the amount of the water that would have to be dumped on a place to raise the water levels so much.

It always amazes me how quickly the water butt fills up from what seems like a small amount of rain falling on the shed roof. Maths explains it (small depth on a big area = big depth on a small area) but it still seems amazing.

I presume by 'tracking' Steve means panning to follow a moving object while using continuous AF? Answer - I haven't a clue! Too many buttons to push with arthritic fingers.

Yes, got it in one. Otherwise known as "I can't keep the flying bird in frame and focus at the same time, so let's hope the camera can deal with the focus". Sorry about your finger problems. Perhaps Ricoh can add voice control to Pentax cameras. More useful than being able to ask a plastic blob on a shelf what the weather's like in Timbuktu.

Any idea what tracking is like with the PLM + TC? I've never been sure whether tracking with the DA*300 (with or wthout TC) is limited by the lens or camera (K3). If lens, there's a chance it's better with the PLM. If the camera, it will be much the same.

I think I will donate them to The Impoverished Photographers Union.

Do you mean those who have bought a K1 plus all the new lenses??
