Park cameras imaging festival

Another excellent event, well attended and plenty of staff on hand. Great seminars.

Thoroughly recommended.

Asda again!

Days before Xmas, precious lunch hours gathering remaining gifts and an innocent trip to Asda become a nightmare.

Till appears to have worked until the point of exit, so 15 minutes of messing about and messages about deactivating my card.

Time passes some more.

Turns out to be an Asda system screw up and they want my contact details as my card vendor has confirmed the charge but their system has no record.

£5 goodwill received. Not sure what I charge for follow up phone calls yet.

Asda xmas opening hours

Visited Asda tonight, plenty of indication that the Brighton Marina shop is open 24 hours, from here I can see a massive red dot saying just that.

Open, well, the bits not covered in trolleys.

Open, well not the clothes section.

This is good news, if I had been shopping longer I may have needed to visit the toilets, no, they're closed.

Open, except for all the checkouts except self service, which doesn't really work for the trolley load, or the little old lady with a big queue.

Asda, the front doors being open is not really enough to say you are open.

Perhaps a big red dot "partially open 24 hours".

Now I know by the Marina Asda car park was strangely empty, lesson learned.
