      But don't forget to have a break from it this evening - a few hours rest is as good for you as getting it working is for us.

    The Grand Tour appears to have taken a rather big poo on Top Gear's doormat. Some of the tent scenes were a bit lame but overall there was some stunning film; the opening sequence where the trio do a Mad Max is quite something.

      Is Mad Max sellin' Top Gear now ? That's a wrap :)

      Agreed, looks like a much bigger focus on the pre-recorded films which, in my opinion, was the best part of Top Gear

      I think it fair to say that the BBC has well and truly 'dropped the ball' on this one...

    Seen in a news report; "Police said they did not know if they were investigating what happened".

      Indeed - in fact the "Schindler's Lift" comment comes from my time working in Poland, where pretty much all of the hotels in Warsaw have Schindler elevators.

    Is really glad I use screen protectors on cameras - if you don't it's worth investing a few quid. My heart was in my mouth when the camera dropped onto a hard object.

      Yes; that dducked the lens. ;)

      Go for glass screen protectors if you can Don rather than the plastic layers.
