I spent £100 on a 4th-hand Minolta with light leaks, a brand new Leica is up there with a helicopter in "stuff I can dream of only"

The most powerful instrument in a hospital is the MRI service heads' stare when a registrar says the request is too urgent to complete the patients' safety check

Good point. Seems unfair to demand an answer from you about that really...

But where does the money go?????

Every time I look up at the info board at this train station, my train is even later (or just says "delayed").
