    New bike advice..

    Best bet is to look for a 2nd hand GT or kona, good bikes but tend to be cheaper. Don't get a full sus as for £150 even 4th hand it would be pap. Avoid things like Apollo which you will get new for £150 as again it will be like riding an old lady's shopping trolley which was full of lead. You...

    What a disgrace.....

    But it's not like someone is taking every picture in the world for free? It is a local comp. It's like saying that I deliver my own Christmas cards to people I know therefore I am putting Royal Mail out of business. I would guess it's of a similar scale.

    What a disgrace.....

    You will also find most if those papers/magazines will have their own budgets and need to be profitable in their own right. I guess you haven't submitted a shot :) or maybe you have and this is a way to fend off the competition lol ;)

    say bye to EVIL cameras - say Hi to mobile phone as a viewfinder

    I disagree. Just because a phone has a good OS doesn't make it an excellent phone!
