I actually switched to digital very early on - 2003, as I could really see the benefit. Initial outlay for a camera body was spendy (I went secondhand) but it completely cut the numpties* doing the processing right out of the loop.

Trouble was, as digital got cheaper, a lot of drivers then wangled free photos off their mates, as you say, machine gunning with the camera, rather than paying me for my time and my skill and a nailed on shot of their car. The only time I'd really machine gun was if an incident was happening right in front of me.

* except for Boots in Ely, which had a proper photo lab back then. I got to know the lady who ran the lab, and could tell her exactly what was needed. Perfect processing every time. Everywhere else was somewhat hit-and-miss.

DON'T get me started.

they have no salt on them.

Ahh, you mean just like the original Smith's crisps back in 1920 with the wee blue bag of salt so the consumer had a choice to salt or not.
And how much are Tyrell's charging for this 'novelty' - ?

Back from a pleasant 4 mile walk, with tea & a bacon sandwich plus a free sausage for Bonnie 🐶 ½ way round, 👍

Away to the grand Crimbo lights switch on in Norwich tonight. The GLW is singing in a rock choir who are doing a 'spot' outside the City Hall.
The food stalls on the nearby market are staying open 'til 20.00h., so grub isn't an issue.
Forecast is for rain though, so could be an interesting evening - !

John Knox gets blamed for all sorts of things he had nothing to do with.

One of the local Presbyterian churches used to have an elder called John Knox which always seemed a very appropriate name to me.

I still haven't received the email with my theatre ticket but they've billed my card.

Just got a message saying postie could not deliver. Have been in all morning. Heard him put a small parcel through the letter box and assumed that was the parcel they had messaged about earlier
Dull and 7 outside. Swept up the leaves and grot from the storm - might now get to the bin and back without overly filthy footwear.

Good morning.

I'm supposed to be interviewing someone today.

Open questions

Open questions

Interviews with us are a bit different; people come to "work" for us for a reason, usually addiction or illness, so we are just working out how they are and if we can help.
