    Sony cameras in general in my experience take great photos. V happy with my Z3 compact, much better than previous galaxy phone.

    This is another reason ive been looking at the wiley fox storm as it uses a 20mp sony camera

    Working at the local tip,you don’t get bank holidays off as it our busiest time with everyone doing the gardens and DIY !
    I don’t mind as I take the lieu day when I want and its quieter to do stuff 🙂

    Yup my recent Singular Puffin, something just felt wrong, like I was on it, not in it. I tried bars, stems, saddles and seatposts, it always felt just on the wrong side of right.

    Yep exactly that, im on it not in it !
    its only a few mm shorter in the top tube which i thought would help with being older and fatter but no, not at all 🙁
    ive tried stems , bars , shoving my saddle back a bit more .. just not working for me !
    may end up stripping it as the bits are ultegra etc and changing frames

    I’m one of the blokes that works at the local tip and can confirm its against company rules to sell or let the public have it ,its a sackable offence as classes as gross misconduct,once its inside council tipping bin’s then its their property ,we have cameras all over the place keeping a eye out for such things 🙁
    Sad to say some good stuff goes to waste

    Seen it every day people either going well out of their way to fly tip crap, or just dump their old sofa and fridge outside their own homes and expect others to tidy it for them !
    Working for the council certainly opens yours eyes and you realize that some people are utter scum and dont give a shit !

    Ive just finished working for a local council on the street cleansing side, alot of the roadside rubbish is dependent on the areas your in , some people look after their areas far better than other do !
    We can litter pick certain streets every other day and get 10 bags of litter, while other areas you will be lucky to get a bag !
    Our council is about to make massive cuts on the cleansing side which will reduce sweepers and litter picking in all areas ! … not good at all , expect it too get worse 🙁

    Van Dessel WTF. it has an EBB, but it also is massively adaptable and has great mud clearance. That’s what I’m planning to get when i finally get myself a job.

    Good luck trying to get one in the uk, was in touch with them last week and at the moment they arent sure i can get one in the uk ??

    Have the reasons for leaving gone away? If not then you know the answer…

    There`s been some big changes there , manager been sacked for bullying the staff etc was a big one ,but there were other things i wasnt happy with but the commute is the biggest killer for me, and the fact ill have to start at the bottom of the pay grade again and will take me 4 yrs to reach the top of my banding !
    At present its agency work but 7 mins bike commute or my old job with an hrs drive each way with no financial gain at all 🙁
