Yup, my first voyage into canon SLR was 90's plastic units, eos 300 and eos 500 and a eos 3 or 5 with the eye control (only had 5 points though, thing was a tank). And honestly from every analogue camera with a TTL sensor I've ever used, they always had the best metering, only when shooting underground, sewers and mines was exposure (not the cameras fault) an issue.

Thats amazing news that 110 film is in production again!
Was gifted a Pentax 110 kit (alloy box with pretty much every lens and accessory that was popular at the time) in basically new condition from a house guest from Singapore. Never been able to use it, but now maybe there is a chance.

Tomato energy. New company with a daft name however if you....
Have an EV or plug in hybrid
Have a battery bank
Have electric panel heaters or salt furnaceGet on their lifestyle tariff. They have 3 different variations. Giving normal day rate, half price day rate and an few hours in the night at 5p rate.
For us they do an electric heater one that gives you 3 hours in morning and 3 hours in early evening at 14p a unit instead of 25p (cap) which gives us a saving of about 2£k a year compared to last year.Don't think there is a referral scheme yet but will put up a code if there is one (used to be £50 credit each way).

Lots of cargo end up in Bucharest Romania within 2 weeks usually.
The locking technique is impeccable, targeted hit by professionals, firmly remind the police this is not an opportunity crime , it's very well organised the whole supply chain of them to move bikes out of the country usually very quickly.

Asked octopus about Agile so many times, won't cover our area, basically no tariff does. And we are on electric resistance heaters as very not easy to install air source pump due to old building, conservation area, only place for pump is gonna be noisy for neighbour and nearest service engineer is a 3 hour drive= would like it, but basically not workable.
So stuck on almost the cap basically at all times. However because there is no incentive to use peak time power, just use the hell out of peak time power when needed. For everyone's loose.

Yeah I think we are entering a short era where those with a home power bank, or electric car can make some gains by being very flexible with their demands. Possibly even make money if you still have an export tariff from years back.
. know various folk on new new estates that can't get decent chargers fitted as local grid basically won't support it

Nice you got up there!
Seen it done before as a temporary measure to get through winter...... cement backer board for showers wrapped in breathable roof felt over/tucked in the stones, to get the walls to dry out and confirm if thats where the water was coming from (can take months to really get dry).
For permant have seen folk wrap them in Grade 5+ lead or lay underneath.
Tap the render as far as you can reach, any hollow spots just get whole thing done, cost of scaff will be higher than the render, even if its lime or harled (Scottish style). Good render does 20- 40 years service. There is that new 1 bag silicon (?) stuff thats meant for new properties but there are variants you can use on old, in UK no one really uses it outside of extremely exposed areas (West coast of Scotland on new custom houses its the number 1 product) but very easy to work with compared to traditional materials. Have done a few chimneys and one small (30m2) gable been impressed.

Yes this kinda thing. Those seem expensive for what they are, but then all of these one box solution PNP white plastic home devices are massively over priced for what you get, its just standard now unfortunately.
Being in court proceedings and having a legal geeza basically just wave their hand at your evidence as 'well thats not worth anything' when anyone could clearly identify the perp as the person in the footage without doubt, literally just because there is some kind of mad precedent for 'wide angle cctv being of dubious quality'. Essentially learned if you want to rob a bank, don't destroy the cameras or block their feed, just put wide angle adapters on them, and then plead 'wasn't me mate', and you'll probably be fine*
*This is legal advise, but I'm guy on the internet, so do with this information as you will.

Had this several times with vision 2 or 3 being put in old cheap cans sourced from who knows where. Used normal cans with some 3m tape work way better, or do it yourself with a bulk loader and some pentax reloadable cans, change the felt light seal every 10 years and your good. Got a fleet of maybe 15 of them, invaluable.
Recently bought some vision 3 from a local company, never had an issue, noticed the can ends were a bit rusty, guy said 'they are OK', nope. On a customer shoot had 4 of 7 rolls light leaked and fogged to hell, can ends of 3 of them were no good and 1 the felt was no good so left a nice slit light leak through a few layers of frames. FML.
Don't worry, there are loads of models of e bike and cargo bike that have the wrong brake adapters fitted from factory so only a fraction of the brake pad even vaguely sweeps the disc, and when I followed through and queried these manufacturers the response was of course 'we've never heard of that before, very sorry, we'll do better in the future'. And then every single one I've seen on the road since 2021 is the exact same. Jokes.
