Huge price hike for photo printing @costco Haydock. It is less than two months since my last order. Today the actual price was 75% higher than it used to be. 25% increase on 6 x4 print and discount kicks in at 500 - used to be 100.

@costco Haydock. Massive price increase for photo printing. I have just paid 75% more for prints than used to. 25% increase on a 6 x 4 plus discount kicks in at 500 prints - used to be 100. And the new website sucks. Always been a fan - not happy.

"Apparently it smells amazing and lasts for days.". Overheard as a lady in Liverpool walked past. Any thoughts on what she was talking about?

Maggi Hambling, In Conversation

I enjoyed a You Tube film last night. It featured an artist whose work I really like. Maggi Hambling is irascible, irreverent and very entertaining. She started by saying that her being a lesbian isn't relevant to being an…https://t.co/SLBlO50UHv

After many years of being a decent person and with the help of a globally threatening virus I now have access to my 80 year old neighbour's debit card. And I am asking myself....... stick with Canon or try Sony for a change or just get the bread and milk?…https://t.co/lNnVaw2krc
