(01 Sep 2016, 4:12 pm)Adrian I was referring to the need to keep records for aaccounting purposes.Had to buy a new one. Driver refused to and customer support claimed it never has been reported before and it was my responsibility to stop the text from fading. That was that.
I am surprised if GNE will not replace your ticket, if it's in a condition that is resulting in you not being allowed travel.

(01 Sep 2016, 4:42 pm)Adrian Is it not worth you purchasing your initial ticket on the key online, and then topping it up on the bus when you need it beyond then?I bought it when I was on the under 18 key card so still only have the one option. I'm buying a year key ticket at the travel centre soon so that should end all text fading issues. Pretty disappointed at the support I received for this though!

This is from Wednesday.
Was working at 0830 - 1630 / 1830 - 2130 split shift, with the second person due in on a 1330 - 2130 shift.
At 1320 shop phone rings, my co-worker tells me that they can't come into day for private reasons (company still needs at reason).
Get pissed off because I couldn't find any staff to help me as two other people had also rang in sick elsewhere in the area. End result was I managed to get someone to work for 30 minutes so I can at least have a break and eat my lunch, but effectively I worked from 0830 - 2130 with a 30 minute break.
Before people say, anyone can be sick etc. This person has a track record of doing stuff like this, and proceedure is actually to phone in as soon as they know someone is in the shop which is half an hour before opening (I was in from 0830 for 9am opening). A few months ago they rang in sick, and a customer later spotted them with their partner later on that day at the Metrocentre.
As a result of getting pissed off, I hit the till in rage and nearly broke my hand.

Budget Rent a Car!
The handbreak failed on our rental car, smashing up the front end - which was getting off lightly as if we hadn't hit a rock we would have rolled into the sea.
Inevitably, they've decided the car cannot have been at fault and have charged me over £800 for the scary experience and a broken foot!
Raining in Blackpool.
Unable to keep the camera lens dry enough to take photos, either collects too much of the rain or steams up and the cloth I use is soaking, even after trying to use the heat from a Stagecoach Olympian engine to dry it out.

(03 Sep 2016, 3:04 pm)Adrian Neither the camera or lens are waterproof, so I'd be careful using it at all.For a number of reasons this is why I prefer my mobile, phone has to have decent autofocus and a few settings to be anything close to dslr like. I always find those big cameras with lenses to be clumsy especially when on public transport or whatever.

Anyway, I bought a pair of classic vans because my old trainers were falling to pieces. I had to then dash into the car before it rained to figure that I no longer can be exposed to the elements, losing that water proof aspect to my own self. I was going to find other shops later to order a new pair of all-weather shoes but just did it online as it started pouring it down. Also those shop's lighting proper messes witu my head and vision. Guess until it is good enough to collect my shoes from the stores I'm bound to indoors, which isn't ideal with college resuming soon.

(03 Sep 2016, 3:24 pm)Adrian You will not find any phone camera that performs anywhere close to a DSLR.Aye, I agree with quality decrease but don't think it's worth the difference with the quality that my S6 already takes combined with the fact that I don't need to cart around a bag. It's down to personal preference cause I insist on travelling as light as possible. I don't take a bag, just my wallet/phone/keys/phone charger all in my pockets which fit comfortably.
DSLRs are fine when you're used to them, and of course if you look after them. I've had mine since 2011, and I've barely had a problem with it, nor has it got a scratch on it. It's well worth investing in, as what you're taking photos of will not be around forever.
