    Quite right. Now edited. Dunno how I missed that.

    Talking of loose Canons, here's my new (second hand) one that arrived today.



    Yes, that's a credit card it's on. It really is that tiny. Canon Ixus 100 IS. It's even got a viewfinder.

    You could get four of these in a trouser pocket!

    Leica look of that! (to continue the photography puns) - especially if it has a viewfinder.

    Some are questioning the source of the ginger gene: neither of this parents had ginger-haired members in their families. Anyway I thought he was marrying Angela Merkel as compensation for Brexit.

    I have a theory.

    1. Prince Charles used up all his "little swimmers" making William.

    2. There are some very smart people doing amazing things with genetic engineering. They can do almost anything for you if your pockets are deep enough.

    3. The Royal family have enormous wealth.

    4. Corgis are ginger.
