PCP on the contrary, a lot of officers would probably be worried about seen to be hassling ethnic minorities so may leave you alone. Davec223, I've no idea on stats of actual s.44's to be honest. I work a rural(ish) beat with no main terror threats about. Wack61, PCSO's dependant on attitude...

Can I just throw into the mix that we got a circular recently from the NPIA reminding us that it was neither an offence to take pictures in public nor to take pictures of us in uniform but this should not stop us going about our duties. The only pictures people take of me in uniform is when...

Another Yorkshire one, bot West Yorks but certainly West Riding :p is Tan Hill. We've got a 2cv Rally up there tomorrow (4th Jan) there'll be between 60 and a 100 of the things I think. but the location is good for the moorland and sometimes snow!

Most of mine are around West Yorks, if your after urban and safe I'd suggest drive into Leeds and look for the dark corners (the £4 a day car park on whitehall road is my fav) Holbeck has some nice quite areas.

Not wanting to stick my neck above the parapet too much but I am plod. It makes me cringe sometimes reading how some officers deal with togs.

Thanks, I followed the link and he seems to be rubbishing a lot of people that repair them then linking to someone he recommends who also doesn't repair them any more, will have to keep my eye out on fleabay. Oh and yes its a varex IIb

My Exakta needs a shutter as the current one has gone stiff and cracked, any suggestions?

Thanks for the welcome, the name comes from a slightly poor self image combined with being put on the spot when having to think of a myspace tag. I don't use myspace any more but I continued to use squareoftheyear for flickr, youtube (squareoftheyearFM) and gmail. Oh and I've got the .com and...

Hey, It instructed me to start a thread so here one is :D. 'Quite' into photography, don't think I've quite got the eye to go pro or even to justify spending a fortune on a decent DSLR but I enjoy seeing some of my shots come out and am very interested in improving and maybe one day getting...
