Halford's Auto Center are pants.. Booked an MOT for Friday & paid for it online, just received an e-mail telling me they are fully booked! Great..

What is the point in allowing online bookings if they can't fulfill them?

**Rant over!!**

Called at 8 when they open and was told to call back after 9 because they were not open yet and it's always really busy first thing! Muppets..

I only went with them because I got 50% off, I can see why now.. They just fit you in when they can, which is useless for me because the MOT is up tomorrow!

Morning folks.
Thanks for the nice comments and votes on yesterday's Wisley shots, Lee's right tho I should've cropped the crocus to get rid of the dead petal. So annoyed with myself that I didn't remove it at the time!

Matt - we find little local garages to be the best bet, places like Halfords are usually crap.

Popping into the BWC in about an hour I think, just in time for squirrels' brekkies!

Was going to suggest we meet in the squirrel enclosure on Sunday, rather than reception area. Squirrels are fed at 1030am, and there's also a little talk by one of the keepers.

Sunday meeting in the squirrel's enclosure sounds a great idea ... looking forward to (and keeping fingers crossed for) a sunny morning with lots of active and inquisitive squirrels, as well as other animals obviously!

morning folks...

I hope everyone is as well as can be?

I'm hoping the weather forecast is accurate for the weekend as the Sunday is currently looking good!

I'll second the useless Halfords - they seem to over promise and under deliver!

I was contemplating a trip into the BIG smoke on Saturday for some pics, is anyone around up for that?!

Mike is there any way you know of to name and number pictures/files automatically from lightroom as you export them?

ie i want to export certain pitures but them to have the same filename and detailed with ascending sequential numbers on export
