My niece is starring* in a play with her youth acting group (*starring! I know!), and they need some props for the stage show. So I've been trying to help out by borrowing clothes and furniture from vintage stores and second hand dealers, but I'm stuck on one last thing...
Stocks!

Does anyone by any (long shot, highly unlikely) chance have some? Or know any staging companies or historial reenactment groups that might have one? It's so random I don't know where to start!
I've been looking online but when searching "stocks" I get endless results for stock broking companies like Rowan Dartington, rather than old world prison stocks!
Well, I did warn you it was a random one, can anyone help?

I recently broke my digital camera charger and I have had a bit of a search on the old internet and come up with a site that has a fair few Battery Chargers at quite a cheap price. I was wondering what the risks of buying a charger that is not the correct the brand for your camera? Does it have any effect at all on the life expectancy on your battery like the shop folk will have you believe?
I have long been under the assumption that it would, but I can’t decide whether or not I am just falling for the hype, which I invariably could be. The truth is, after recently splashing out £70 quid on a new battery charger for my laptop, I could really do with paying a lot less if it is possible and not really that important? Who knows best?
Talk to me people.

If you enjoy walking as much as I do, check out Guernsey, one of the southern most parts of the British Isle which is considered to be a great place for walkers. The spectacular country side, fascinating townscapes, abundance of birds and flowers, pedestrianised town centre, and the long sandy beaches make Guernsey one of the best places for those who enjoy taking long walks.
What I like about Guernsey the most is that you can get off the plane and start walking right away. The walking festival is one of the main attractions in Guernsey and something that a walking enthusiast cannot miss. It takes place in spring and autumn, and there are close to 40 guided walks that you can choose from and enjoy. I took part in five of the walks during the festival and enjoyed them thoroughly.
