I like batteries, 16 AAs or 50 odd button cells for a quid.

Amazing how many of them work.

And a most excellent 5M protek tape measure :-)

ITYM names are proper nouns, and proper nouns are capitalised.

What about eBay and ntl: and other names that make a point of not
having an upper-case first letter?

That's called marketing affectation.

I would agree that Cannes attracts a certain type. I do love old Nice
though. I get there whenever I can sneak off for a few days. The flower
market is also incredible. I bought some raspberries there and they tasted
like raspberries. :-)
