Am I getting a feeling of deja vue with this one?

Yes and no. When I took it (in 2017) the central part of the pub sign was missing (the oval frame, presumably, originally had the Bath Arms heraldic crest hanging within it), but it's since been replaced with this 3D visual pun. The butch figure suggests that the pub is popular with gays, of which Brighton hosts a large community.

Personally, I'm more turned on by bunting, though I'm not sure about the colour scheme here.

I managed to get up to Gt Doddington and environs yesterday. The sun went in out all day long but came out (eventually) for most pictures, except for of the one of the famous watermill, but by then (16:45) it would have been in the wrong part of the sky anyway. I should have done the (circular) walk in the other direction. Gt Doddington is a pleasant enough place with a fine church and old manor house but there's nothing to take in the village itself. On the way home I stopped en route in Earls Barton, and having been heavily overcast for the previous hour or more, just as I reached the churchyard, miraculously the sun reappeared.

Overall the day was more successful and photo-productive than I thought it would be, so thanks for engendering the idea to go.

You should have gone on Monday, like I did. Perfect photography weather.

Well, that's a coincidence. Did you take a camera? I drove past a sign to your prison.

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville club
How's it a coincidence? It was I who suggested the watermill for your photograph.
Yes, I told you I had my camera, and all the spare batteries failed after Northampton.

Oh yes, sorry. Very frustrating. The imaging software in modern smartphones is so good that compact and bridge cameras are almost redundant, and if your camera has become unreliable, funds permitting you may be better off with one. Some of the latest smartphones have as many as FIVE lenses, providing an optical zoom range equal to a bridge camera. They even have sensors with far more megapixels than legacy compacts and bridge cameras. All they lack is eye-level viewfinders.

My camera's okay. It's the blinking batteries!

You said I should clean the battery contacts or something.
What do I use to clean them with?

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville club
Here is the problem:

1. PRE-charged batteries work fine in my camera, but they stop working when RE-charged,
even though the battery tester indicates green and they work alright in my clock.
This also happens with UN-precharged batteries that I've had for some time.

2. I have two different chargers and the problem occurs whichever one I use.

3. If it's a fault with the camera, how come new precharged batteries work okay?

No reply? Are you stmped on this one?

Howard Somerville club has replied to Isisbridge club
Then the problem is not likely to be the battery contacts. The rechargeable batteries may be knackered (they don't last forever) and need to be replaced.

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville club
So some of them got knackered after one use?

Howard Somerville club has replied to Isisbridge club
How do you recharge them? If the charger is faulty and allows the batteries to overheat or become overcharged, that could be the culprit, especially if TWO batteries failed in succession.

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville club
I've tried two different chargers.

Howard Somerville club has replied to Isisbridge club
If one of the chargers is faulty and has damaged both batteries, then neither battery will hold its charge thereafter regardless of which charger is used.

I'm not an expert in batteries or chargers and could be wrong, but that's the best I can offer. If the camera works with pre-charged batteries then from now on why not use those?

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville club
Precharged batteries are VERY expensive. I only buy them to keep as an emergency spare.
Perhaps I should buy a new charger and start again.

Howard Somerville club has replied to Isisbridge club
And a (new) rechargeable battery.

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville club
I still have the latest precharged ones in the camera, so I will recharge them in the new recharger (when I get it), and see what happens. Then I will try recharging the old rechargeables again.

I've just been informed that I've become a great uncle for the 6th time. I'm rather pleased actually, having been braced for a disappointment. My new great niece will be called Phoebe. Her older sibling may not be so pleased, though, when she realises that she's been relegated to #2.

Ideally metal polish, or failing that moist spectacle wipes, which will remove any grease or fingermarks. But the contacts might not need cleaning or be the problem, though it's the first thing to try.

Isisbridge club has replied to Howard Somerville club
I don't see how it can be the contacts when the precharged batteries work okay.
