Seams a bit scrimping as they can offset the costs of the gear for tax over the years .
The only saving grace is if you do have to replace it at your cost you can get some of it back.

Hi Clare,

That's a good basic kit, but I think you should have put some money into the budget for hiring additional kit (either lighting or specialist lenses) when needed.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm really glad that happens to you.
I was starting to think it was just my office that dealt with people like that...

Ooh horrible. 15 years ago I commuted for 9 months south on the A1 to Stevenage south turn off. Traffic was terrible then, can't imagine how bad it must have been with all the extra traffic.

I forgot to add that the two guys were squaring up with the noise of hundreds of engines reverbing in the tunnel. Then some inconsiderate biker t**t turns up, sits behind them and hits the rev limiter with the baffle out.
I think that hurt their ears. They got back in the vehicles.

What's wrong with A14 at Kettering. I know it well. Or as the locals call it, Kettrin.
