If that awful woman had really "turned Britain round", you would today be buying a British camera as the best in the world, instead of a Japanese one. Britain today is an ugly and intimidating place compared with the one in which I grew up, and she was the architect of that change. Wilfully carried out without an ounce of compassion or concern for the communities she destroyed and the people whose lives she blighted forever, describing them as "the enemy within". Great swathes of Britain's industrial heritage were laid waste, some never to recover. Across much of Britain the hatred and loathing remain, undimmed after 30 years. Martin.

Whilst I have great admiration for the way she handled the situation in the Falklands at the time there is still a question regarding the events before and whether if they had been handled better the whole situation might have been avoided. I think her handling of the UK industrial situation was as Martin says completely without any form of compassion or concern for the events that woudl follow the 'crushing of the unions'. Today's situation is partially down to her and the legislation that she brought in which effectively destroyed the British engineering and creative inventiveness with machinery and electronics. It is actually recovering to a degree now but it is long way off where it could be. For me the jury is out on the degree and amount of damage done but it is considerable some was by her and the rest was self-inflicted by the unions not knowing which battles to fight!

Before we get completely off subject - anyone complaining about post should try having an Inverness postcode... Next day delivery by Parcelforce = 7-10 days, of which it will spend at least 5 of those days sitting in the offices at Aberdeen. Special Delivery does arrive the next day but the earlier delivery 9am is not available. Most couriers won't delivery next day here anymore and I have actually stopped using a number of photographic supplies companies because they insist on Parcel Force or similiar. I can get an item fully insured, tracked, and delivered in 3 days from the USA via UPS. But I can't get anything delivered from Glasgow even in under 4 days.

We have the same high postage problem in Canada and it makes selling on eBay difficult.

These independent courier are the future. The PO in UK is still thinking people send letters and it is their business to deliver. In reality letter post is either bills that should be downloaded and/or printed as required. Parcels should be it business and it should be competeing head on with the small players and able to undercut them.

Had to update this after an experience on Friday. I wanted to order a new Peak Design Leash, the new version. I found that Camera World had them in stock at £34.95 plus P&P. I put in my postcode, was told I was a special delivery Highlands and Islands, told it would be 3-4 days not next day, and £14.99 to deliver. I cancelled the order and sent them an email to tell them what I thought of this excessive charge. As usual they blamed their courier DPD. Which, as I pointed out to them was odd, since DPD delivered to me last week for £4.99...they had no answer to that. I ended up ordering it from FotoSense with £3.99 Royal Mail first class delivery, or free postage if I was happy to wait 3-5 days. I should also point out that Park Camera's would have delivered it without any additional location related charges but won't have them in stock until Thursday and I wanted it before then if possible.
