rob237 89 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Ian, Whilst appreciating your local pictures (utterly clueless on this one) could you kindly reduce the width somewhat, as my 800x600 screen and fading eyesight can't cope! Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Robt P. Sorry Rob but i thought large print might help you old uns LOL ( Actually I have tried to, but every time I try all that happens is that the picture gets bigger a bit like zooming in , this picture is only about 3/4 the size of the original) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks Rob for pointing out the fact that the picture was very large because now that you have pointed that out I can see what I was missing...the building directly in front is The George Hotel and we are looking down Goose Gate Hockley...the pair of ladders in the picture I still have in my garage, which still come in usefull for prunning overhead branches from my neighbours red wood tree.
