We got a delivery of DVD discs and covers and have ordered up the labels we use on return order envelopes and on the outside as sender details thats another couple of hundred spent and the discs goodness knows, I don't want to look. The prices are shooting up not just as raw materials are increasing in cost but we are told be the supplier that there are less manufacturers making dvd blanks as they are afraid that demand will soon dry up as people are mainly downloading the films they want. This is where I saw the market going and why we have introduced digital downloads at just £8 each. THere is a steady trickle of orders although of course there is only a limited amount there on the shop. Going back into the thousands of releases will take more than the remainder of my life I would think but at least we have started. The commercial use licence is also on the shop and I shall start to put the archives unedited masters on as downloads for research or commercial use, I don't think there is a great demand for old trams and trolleybuses but at least we'll be putting it out there for future generations. Needless to say tonights slide show is the first selection from our visit to Liverpool docks today
As it turned out this morning on checking the weather we could have got away with filming at Newcastle but it wasn't much help them changing the forecast at the last minute when they can look out of the window, not so much a forcast rather just a report. Anyway I'd already decided that I'd take a punt on going to Liverpool docks which were supposed to be dry and have light cloud, actually other than some drizzle to start it wasn't far off the mark and the temperature was a very mild 14 degrees so although I started out with scarf and hat I soon 'stripped' down to a coat. I was at the Cargill side of the docks where it is foodstuffs, crap,steel,oil etc and this sees a very different collection of lorries than the main entrance with containers et. I think I spotted at least three paint jobs and a nice classic ERF. The drivers as ever oh so friendly and plenty of waves, toots and flashing lights. It has almost become a tradition to have a good session at Lymm Poplar services just before Christmas and we'll certainly have a go. Next week we are just available Monday and Tuesday so it is really getting to be an outside chance of Tyneside and Kent but never say never. I've updated the DVD list again and must get covers done for these very latest releases at least I'll have some lorry clips to put on Youtube. It seems to be climbing nicely although not perhaps as good as last year, the average hit seems to be bouncing around the 50k a day mark.
