Any naff pressys???
 
Just wondered if anyone got something really naff this christmas, I did ok as told everyone we would need canadian dollars as we dont want to cart too much stuff over with us.....but I did get quite a few boxes of choc's when everyone knows I am doing weight watchers. And sloggy knickers......hate them, think they are like tummy warmers. Few years ago did get a large pressy from OH and was so disapointed to find it was a large tool box with all sorts of tools and little draw for putting screws in. Nice one.:p

My MIL gave me a golf club bag. No naff, exactly, but utterly useless. I don't play golf, nor do I have any intention of taking it up.

Not really naff pressy's but I ended up with two digital photo frames, all very neat in themselves and something I think I can use quite nicely.

But and it's a big but...who the hell figured out what ratio to use for these freakin' things.

Standard ratio for a digital camera is 4:3 and for Digital SLR 3:2 which gives pictures of reduced size 800x600 or 800x533 respectively.

The two picture frames are 800x480 and 480x234 so nothing fits without massive cropping. :curse::curse::curse:

Just did what my mate did in John Lewis's a few years back when buying lingerie for his wife. He pointed at the female assistants chest and said "Oh, about your size."

Simple innit? ;)
