Batteries just don't like being cold - you need to keep them inside a pocket, so-to-speak , insulated from the cold .

Strieks me we are going to take up a few spaces in the car park

OH and it's not a free one , but pricing is really not bad

Congratulations

WOW -

Normal ie at home useage

I carry my camera +lens + another if I think I'll need it , spare cards , lens cloth spare set of batteries for K-x and for the Flash [ if that's with me ] Usually I also have a small towel - protects the screen in a bag and can act as protection/cushioning if I want to put the camera on a wall to take a pic .

If I'm away - then all that plus chargers , a set of Lithiums for emergency use , Card reader , Computer and its gubbins.

One oddity it was suggested that I always carried was a plastic carrier bag The idea was a sudden downpour and pop camera and camera bag in that for added bit of waterproofness

Good Gracious !

I would prefer to use independents - but when the local butcher's prices are higher than Donald Russell and his quality is nowhere near that , and we don't have a greengrocer then I really don't have much choice - ASDA is not within walking distance and it would involve 3 buses - not on

The butcher down at Morrisons is a butcher - he will cut meat the way you want it - or so I'm told Not explored there yet .

Sadly I can't afford Donald Russell's stuff except when there is a real bargain - then I indulge - last time was last summer - and half the stuff bought there is still in the freezer .

Best on offer round here - we have Tesco , Tesco Extra , Somerfield/Co-op ASDA and only the Tesco is in walking distance Further away still is Morrisons and Siansbury.

At least the local Tesco has fully stocked shelves unlike the Somerfield it replaced [ when they fled ]

well Oggy - you are still a polar bear - but you are upside down You'd better sort out your text to match
