Vacation pictures worth a fortune

LONDON: If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is that in cash? For Mark McCarthy, who took a supermarket and Kodak to court when they lost his vacation pictures, it was worth £5,000. McCarthy refused to accept it when a Tesco supermarket and Kodak declined to compensate him for losing slides from his vacation, including pictures of Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. The two companies agreed to settle the suit out-of-court for £5,000, news reports said on Monday. In an interview in the Daily Mail, 41-year-old McCarthy, from Potters Bar, north of London, said Tesco initially took refuge in a disclaimer on its forms that it would only pay for a new film in the event of photos being lost.
