Well my friends,
Good news has finally arrived, the Insurance company (gawd bless em) have coughed up a serious amount of dosh to yours truly.
The other good news is that at this present moment in time, they havent insisted I send the 'buggared one' back as technically it is now their property.
Give it a couple more weeks and I will attempt to open the 'buggared one' as carefully as I can (of course) and retrieve the tape.
I just hope that it can still be played and the 'moisture' that 'did' for the camera in the first place hasn't also 'buggared' the film.
A fella in a shop told that sometimes the film gets stuck on the head in the camera.
Lets hope this doesn't happen, other wise any record of the valiant and extended display of courage in the face of freezing water pumped at well over 'normal' pressure by our resident Fire Officer will be lost forever, well, till next year, cos he'l have to do it again.
Have a good weekend.
Happy birthday Fire Officer!!!
Mark.
Team Spanner would like to dedicate a moment to our honorary member "Gip"
