Have no camera as phone left in car

On a girly weekend in brum tonight then nots tomorrow and a few of us booked one of the rent by the night apartments in the rotunda - and I have a nice birds eye view of the tracks at new street as they go under the bull ring from the 19th floor!

Bah!

Phone should be fine in the car in the car park at Nailsea, though ...  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Call me a Luddite, but I prefer my phone to be a phone. My camera hasn't got a phone, so why should my phone have a camera? Wink Tongue Grin
