You can get some great sunsets across the salt marshes from Lymington, some smooth reflections at Hatchetts pond, some good snake photos at the reptile centre just west of Lyndhurst, but to be honest, it's probably best just to drive around and see what you see - the wildlife often gives the...

Cheers Pirate, I'll use them next time. I've sent the details of my problem to Trading Standards and VISA. I'm not sure they'll do much, but at least I'll get my money back from VISA!

My local PC World has put the returns/help desk next to the tills. It's easy to judge the length of the returns queue, with customers holding various bits of kit, against the tills queue. It's a good way to judge customer satisfaction...
