Yep, sadly I wasn't in Cumbria as BBC Cumbria were doing a text in, so next best thing was looking towards Cumbria for them - i-phone shot !

why would you choose to suddenly take the last 3 digits, not the last two?

It's actually only the last digit that's important surely?

I don't want to get in to a 'thing' here lol

Surely every time you take a photograph it's a once in a lifetime thing?

I.e. it will never be the 7th August 2009 ever again...

Agreed. This stupid new Jessops contract has me working 5x 5 hour shifts a week.
Totally pointless when I could be working 3x 8 hour shifts a week.
1. It ruins my days
2. It is 2 extra days of driving to and from work
3. I don't get a lunch break

So now Jessops are losing customers, they're turning on their staff instead.

a 5 hour shift you dont need a lunch break, sucks that the days get messed up though.

there's always 12:34:56 7/8/90 or 01:23:45 6/7/89 to look froward to which some people here will possibly make it to.

I know you don't. Well 'don't' is a matter of opinion. You're not legally entitled at 18 to a lunch break until you work over 6 hours. I think that's bang out.
