FILMED IN WILD AND WINDY CORBY AND KETTERING

Corby rather denies an adequate description, I think its woes and the steel plant closure were once a cause celebre among sociologists and urban planners. It remains as something akin to a 1970s Soviet development in Siberia and would be a good place to use if Johnson starts internal exile, the sort of stunt most dictators do to be one stop less than butchery. It was freezing cold albeit the absolute temperature was about 8 with the wind chill it was minus.

I started at Kettering which was remarkably quiet at 9.30, things looked as if they were picking up by 10am but by then boredom had set in and I was dubious if Corby would have anything of interest. I arrived as a Whippet whipped out and changed a battery at the car park and watched a Centre bus fly by, I thought they had pulled out, anyway it was 100% Stagecoach and ditto other than Diamond Coach decker at Kettering. I did stop at Nuneaton but the battery I had died, I've cancelled the replacement on Amazon as it is still out of stock and ordered a much cheaper Chinese look alike ( never learn) and hope it works, I dread to think what a Panasonic battery would cost. I think a bit of memory effect has started on all three I use at present, I've had them for some years and they get a hammering.

I'll probably go back to tele cine copying of the films I've got to assess at the moment so I don't keep hold of them too long, unless the supplier which is I think manufacturer can suggest anything I can mend such as the slipping drive belt then I'm happy to have a go. it is so frustrating. I wish there were alternatives to the one I got, a stronger more robust dare I say non Chinese one would be favourite , they do turn out some junk, all those who rush for Chinese buses will regret it very quickly. As my visit to Nuneaton was halted so quickly the clips I took will go to Youtube as internet viewing only. The advertising revenue plummets in the new year, its about 50% now of pre Christmas level so please support in all ways, order downloads or DVDs or watch the adverts on the clips.
