I wonder why they chose a Zenith camera, its not as if the programme is set in the early 70's. I can't imagine it's just so they can save a few bob

Probably there wasn't enough interest from the big names caonon, nikon, to pay for "product placement"

Were they sold under the Fair Trade Agreement

On a happier note the film advance on the Zenit used in Whitechapel appears to have been repaired

That does remind me of one of Viz's top tips.

I heard that ram raiding was a good way of making money so I smashed into a jewellers and stole £5,000 worth of gold.

Unfortunately the damage to my car cost £6,200 to repair so I was £1,200 down on the deal.
You're not supposed to use your OWN car silly boy

Mike, I remember a few years ago on Tyne/Tees TV the uncle of a young man who died in a car crash while fleeing the police said " He was just coming home from work, he's a ram-raider, it's his job" This is not made up.

I think the most worrying aspect is, when I left school I would say there was employment available for everyone who wanted it. How many of us would like the prospect of being a school leaver now and that is regardless of your level of intelligence.

Do you think he'll ever go back there ? And if he does how long will he have to wait for his order, and what exactly will he be served

I would say the older lady left of the lass in orange. She's clearly on a mission and too old to be there for fun.

She's probably dashing to Marks & Sparks for the toilet Although she doesn't know it yet but, according to Mrs Snap, half of the Ladies is shut because of a leaking pipe

I get quite dismayed when you ask someone what they do and they say they are 'only' a cleaner/barman/etc.

All jobs require doing and I think anyone who does a job (paid or unpaid) and does it with dedication and professionalism deserves the same respect, regardless of what the job entails.

In fact the weird thing in life is, the less I do the more I get paid!
How very true, and the harder you work the luckier you get

Stan, Before you run the threads together rub some soft pencil lead (6B if you've got one) into them. The graphite is an exellent, non oily, lubricant.

I'll try that, I have some other cheapo rings and lenses to test it on

Got one off ebay, alledgedly posted in UK

The lenses I'm joining weren't a lot of money so if the ring sticks it won't matter too much

Thanks for the suggestions
