Electrical Retailers and Icy Winds

If only because I have written little recently I thought I should compose a few words today but I doubt that the world has missed me. I have been concentrating on my Flickr photostream but even that has not received much input as work and weather stifle creativity. Today, after some other activities, I took more photographs of Bus Rapid Transit where progress is impressive. I cannot imagine working on such a site all day on a day like this. The first part of the afternoon was viciously cold and my hands could not have operated a camera effectively for much longer than they did. This was a disappointing pointer for the weekend when I have a long excursion to London planned for some as yet not very well planned photography. There is only so much one can do outside in this weather. I hope my friends in America on both coasts have something better for Thanksgiving. I do not pray to a regognised god but I was very grateful to return to a warm, clean, home after a delicious and filling lunch. I hope all my readers are thankful for their blessings.

We bought a spare television for my Mum today. There is something electrical retailers have not learned. If they are going to sell you a TV for £200, you don't want some pointless warranty for half that again. You already have your regular consumer rights and if it breaks after that you just buy another one. Still, they only ask half-heartedly now so maybe it is sinking in.

  1. John Lewis give a free 5yr warranty on TVs - and they have just arranged a home pickup and replacement delivery for a faulty radio which I bought from their Swindon store yesterday. Worth a trip to West Quay next time, I would have thought.
