The landlady of a pub in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, has been fined £300 for putting up homemade no smoking signs while she waited for the official ones to arrive.

A court ordered her to pay the fine after it was found that she violated regulations.

And the pub's name? The Judge and Jury, of course.

Olympus Pen EP-3: a micro four thirds camera everyone will want?

I have always been a big fan of the Olympus Pen digital... from the very first retro EP-1 camera to the EP-2.

It's a great travel camera and has given me good service, producing some punchy pictures without adding weight to the suitcase when travelling light. And it feels like a proper camera (almost, dare I say, like a film camera).

Now Olympus is to launch the EP-3 (pictured). And first reports suggest that it will be better than ever.

Wired.com is certainly raving about it: CLICK HERE FOR REPORT

Finally, here are recent pictures I took in Snowdonia, Wales, and Rome, Italy, using a Pen EP-2 - they are now on Alamy.
