Best things about working as a #photographer , you get to go to amazing places and #events , just about anything can happen and usually does and no two days are ever the same!

@Hozelock just wanted to let you know that your product is without question the worst, most kink prone hose I have ever used. You had one job……

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

@cjb_twit @MrRoryReid Yes, you can typically expect 20-25% annual depreciation whatever car you buy. In the very long term an EV will be cheaper to own, but with much higher up front EV prices, the break even EV-ICE is years down the road, encouragingly that gap is narrowing.

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

@MrRoryReid Could do, but on a like for like car for car comparison, ICE models still make more sense for me. The gap EV-ICE is defo narrowing year by year, & I 100% want to go EV, but I reckon at current rate of change, that’s 5ish years away.

@KateFantom Let me guess, the £1,200 quote was from a franchised Renault dealer, yes? A few years ago my father in law was quoted over £4k by a franchised dealer to sort electrical gremlins on an Audi A8, the issue was a 95p fuse!!!!

Off to Munich to shoot a conference, but first strong coffee and make a start editing last night’s awards photos. #eventphotography

@HoudiniPhantom @KateFantom Most days a sub 250 mile range would be no problem at all. But for me a couple of times each week it’d be a huge problem.

@rogertilling Always good to hear those dulcet tones, looking forward to working with you again soon

@campbellclaret Horrendous story, I can relate, I’m a photographer based in Cambridge and I’ve had to shell out over £800 for a 12 month carnet document so I can take my cameras with me for jobs in the EU. And each overseas trip now involves 4 visits to customs.

@jonpaudav @au_tom_otive @mrmarshallob @AutoTrader_UK Lads, Autotrader data simply doesn’t include the majority of private used car sales, so their avg value is way, way, way higher than the overall UK market.

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

@au_tom_otive @mrmarshallob @AutoTrader_UK Even Autotrader wouldn’t claim their figures are a representative average of the UK used car market, they are the top end.

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

@au_tom_otive @mrmarshallob @AutoTrader_UK Autotrader’s numbers are based on what’s been advertised on their website, which is almost totally dealer stock. They list maybe 500k cars, the UK used care market is circa 8m units. RMIF or one of the trade bodies might be able to help you with more realistic numbers.

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

@mrmarshallob @au_tom_otive @AutoTrader_UK He’s being totally mis-leading Tom is using the the average price of used cars on Autotrader, which is way, way, way higher than the average price of used cars in the UK.

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

@au_tom_otive @mrmarshallob @AutoTrader_UK @au_tom_otive totally mis-leading Tom, that’s the average price of used cars on Autotrader, way, way, way higher than the average price of used cars in the UK. Sorry for calling you out, but that’s just not correct.

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

So I made it to the conference in Stockholm with my ATA Carnet documents for my gear stamped by UK customs on the way out and Swedish customs on the way in to the EU. The process ate an extra 30 minutes at Heathrow and 45 minutes in Stockholm. #brexit #eventprofs #photographer

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

If this scene at Heathrow T5 this morning is any kind of barometer for the vibrancy of global Britain, I think someone needs to light a fire under the Department for Trade.

[Gordon Lyster @LysterGR]

Right so, post Brexit paperwork all packed. let’s see how I get on with taking this lot with me to Stockholm for a conference. #eventprofs
