Indeed so - though it was only when he mentioned Speight's that I could be
sure he was not describing a visit to my neck of the woods!
Glad you found a way to appreciate the finer points, Andrew - and at someone

Thanks for that, Andrew. We needed a report on Brian (well no one else has
met him have they? :-)).
Are you not going to describe the kit that you were testing?

with instructions to get out and about while the weather is good and get
some pix of the place. I'll post in the next few days once i've had a chance
to plough through several hundred files (yes, I took the E-P2 and Panny
