farnz Posted September 26, 2009 Share #541 Posted September 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was previously unaware of the verb photowalk, however, it's a good'un and I'll use it as and when the opportunity arises.On the subject of Police Community Support Officers and their knowledge of even the most elementary basics of law I am, after what has happened to me this week, rendered speechless. Nothing to do with photography but I feel that I may be turning into Haddock. Anyone familiar with Uncommon Law by AP Herbert will instantly understand what I mean. Albert Haddock ... cor, that takes me back! I remember an episode of Misleading Cases called the Negotiable Cow where he wrote a check to the Inland Revenue on he side of a cow. Pete, you got me in suspenders - what happened to you this week (or have I missed something from another thread somewhere)? Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giordano Posted October 27, 2009 Share #546 Posted October 27, 2009 A chartered surveyor who works for the same company as me was taking photographs of property (I guess for an auction catalogue or something) on a housing estate in Oxfordshire today when the police screamed up with their blue lights going. They'd had three complaints from residents that someone was taking photographs over half-term. Who next? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
