So if you went to buy a car and several people had only driven a few miles in it, you'd accept it as new? Thought not.

Shirley(:wink the correct classification would be "Ex Demo".

Thanks Mr C. I was in two minds as to whether to go for your DA 77 ltd or an FA50 1.4. The FA it is then.

Really Chris.

"Guideline for describing an item's condition as "new"
An item can be listed as new if it's unused, fully functional and has no signs of damage or wear."

I would have said "Ex demo" was more appropriate.

It's also questionable that it is described as "new".

Eh?

The construction of polarising filters involves drawing lines on the glass the less than the wavelength of light apart, and you ain't going to do that with a felt pen and rule. They are expensive to produce, especially properly.

Although the wingspan of the Ant is only 8m larger than the 'Bus, it's maximum take-off weight is 80 tons higher. It's a beast.

I have not had any problems with the Verified by Visa setup and I don't go anywhere so no problems there either, but Mrs Oggy got Barclayed last year. She went to Peru and Ireland and used her card with no problems, then she went to India and her card was refused. She used up the last of her credit on her phone calling me. I went to Barclays with three seperate forms of ID including my passport, bank statements for both of us at the same address, our marriage certificate, copies of her airline and hotel bookings - I could even have produced a DNA sample if it would have helped. The teller made some phone calls then looked at me aghast. She said that while they accepted what I had presented them with, they could not do anything unless she called them (how could they authenticate the phonecall when they could do nothing with the evidence I had presented them?) I explained that she was there with no communication, no food and probably without a roof over her head. They refused point blank to help. They could not explain why she had no problems with her other trips, just this one.

I went home and out of desperation emailed the hotel where she was staying. They kindly let her use the phone to call her bank.

So now we are looking for a good bank if anyone knows one (and don't say Coutes :roll.

Seconded I got a cheap one by accident, and the camera will no longer infinity focus with it on.
