Reminds me of the "Dirty British coaster, with a salt caked smokestack, Butting through the Channel in the mad March days, ....." Now that's a hard-worked boat.

Annie, do I detect you have presented us with a little riddle.
John Masefield 1878-1967.

'Cargoes'

Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amethysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.

Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

John Masefield

And no 1DX MkIIIs?

That's the one I want

A house brick with a lens and memory card. But it’s only 20Mpix, so they say! At a cost of megabucks

As I have to be economically practical, I’ll join the queue for the R5. Mpix has gotta be king. Please don’t shout me down all at once.

Someone posted a rumour about an R7 to replace the 7DII? Hope it’s got GPS if it materialises.

A brick I'd be happy to carry around! Well it's a bit lighter than the Mark 2 and I carry it around all the time now

I’m only envious really Annie. I do love the technology evolving these days.
Wife’s just hoping I don’t flog her Rolex to indulge myself

Rolex, what practical use is a Rolex? Have her buy a Swatch and you get the 1DX Mark 3

Stick with the MK2 Annie.

What have I put my foot in now
Well.....So it seems you can take the Brits out of the EU but you can't take Europe out of the Brits. (I think that's the implication here?)

Europe is a geographical term designating an area which includes the British Isles. The EU is a union of states bound by contracts and laws on which they agreed unanimously.

So your foot will be placed firmly on European ground while in the UK (discounting overseas territories).
