"I think most on this forum, would welcome with open arms any new technology or kit to come to the market. I think, and I may be wrong, that it is the modern approach many, especially us old fuddy duddies find bemusing. Before a product is even in prototype stage, the hype starts. The barrage on social media. The expectation levels are set to high alert. Then, bit by bit you find out key information which leads to inevitable delays and people start to become slightly deflated.\n \n\n\n\tThere were some on this forum who had a vested interest in the success of the Londinium Vectis and so were quite happy to promote it blindly whilst dissing anything thing else available, buy they and those days are long gone @Pasturemaster to be replaced by a happy space where we welcome all. But, that does not mean we may not question or even criticise somethings. I for one, hope that the Odyssey project really takes off and becomes a worldwide success. Nothing would give me more pleasure than seeing someone innovate successfully and genuinely bring a new product to the market. But I do wish firms would follow the older style business model, akin to say Dragons Den as opposed to making nice videos and flooding to Crowdfunding!\n \n"
