And please do not reply with "what a crap trick, swine, sexist pig or have you no shame?"

On the contrary, Sir, I believe you are to be commended for your creativity and nimbleness of mind!

They are cracking little cameras. I bought one for Ina a few years ago and I took some nice shots with it!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Have you any examples to hand?

 

[Pete Askew]

There should be some shots of Prague in the files in Germany I think. I'll try and dig something out when I'm back.

 

[Hamish Gill]
