    Probably don't, but they're the ones who may not be acquainted with
    the imperial gallon using as they do inferior measurements.

    Mine was brown and a sort of fake crocodile skin pattern.
    I think it was the rarified Executive edition as supplied by Dixons.

    The Commodore had a soft imitation top loading black leather pouch.

    Talking of Dixons my first SLR was a Chinon, CM-4 I think
    www.mrmartinweb.com/35mmslr.html. Their own branded product I believe. Good
    it was, when DSG still did good.

    God yes, I don't think I ever had to change them. When it died i removed
    them to see if it was Plutonium Decay. Who says technology has moved on.

    £7.77 inc. Incredible. I wouldn't know what to do with it.

    Considering how it merged with wonderfully pure liquid LSD dropped onto
    sugar cubes while humming Magic Roundabout, yes you really had to fucking be
    there maaaan.

    We've still got not one, but two identical FX-82s, both fully
    functioning, and probably on their third or fourth set of batteries by
    now. Built to last, they were.

    I resent the implication that I did my exams at all!

  17. Ah it all becomes clear.

    Now I know why you started that other thread.

  18. I had 4.

    I had one of those too. I dunno why coz they are not that good. The
    one I still use is a cheap 6" thing that I scored as an apprentice for
    not very much.

  19. It would help you certainly. I do all my calculations for me veggies by
    brain cell but I understand others might need artificial aids and don't
    look down on them any the more for it.

  20. I found an old one of mine the other day. Used to be bloody good with
    one too, but that was decades ago. I just looked at it and tossed it
    back in the drawer, to be discovered again some years hence.
