Obviously another waste of council money.  Surely that's one for one of the tabloids to pick up on.   Why don't you send it to one?

Worth remembering that it’s outside WDC’s area.

I suppose that whilst the sign request that stones are not thrown at it - anything else can be!  Of course, if the sign wasn’t there in the first place . . .  Wink

The picture looks like it is taken from the river, does that mean that somebody would have to be travelling down it pre-armed with stones just in case a sign appeared over the horizon?

Kerch - I second Blue Eyes comments - excellent firework photos - I really like the last one as the "camera shake" has added another dimension to it.  It looks like a feathered-flower!  Well done!

can anybody advise a good bit of software to reduce a picture's file size? I struggle to do it with MS Paint. Is there anything where you can set the file size to 150 bytes and it reduces accordingly?

Google own Picassa which is a very useful tool.  There is also ImgResizer, another free one.  Look in the Tech forum as this has been covered before several times, and I believe Meryl has provided links.

Pleasure for two weeks (near Lille) and then a few days of business in Paris - the wife is not best pleased, seems think I get time to go sightseeing or something ridiculous like that. Usually just looking around dirty old warehouses.

No, warehouse automation. basically I put people out of work and replace them with machines. It is usually agency people who get the chop and if I didn't do it our competitors would. I only deal with small stuff but the company does build entire automated warehouses for often over £80m.

Do you think that is enough to make Andre M choke on his wine?  Wink

I suggest you resign your membership of this site PDQ!   Grin

However that reminds me of one of my visits to a large Swedish meat company some 30+ years ago and the Coldstore I visited in Stockholm which was all computerised with very little manpower used in its operation.

Better say no more or Andre will get upset, and I'm keeping this thread off-topic - naughty me!

A couple of photos taken in Sri Lanka a few years ago.

1 Reclining Buddha statue at Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka - the statue is 14 metres long (46ft)

2. This young man is, I think, a “trainee” monk (my words!) who we saw near to the Buddha statue.
