About 2 weeks after my dad died I am convinced I saw him in the distance in town. He was dressed a bit weird, in a boiler suit but was carrying a small suitcase. I reckon he was going off on holiday, something he was very good at. I nearly shouted out to him but then thought 'no off you go Dad and hope you enjoy it'. So really my Dad is not dead ... he's just still travelling. cloud9:

Post by: Snoopy on March 31, 2011, 05:48:57 PM: That is mainly because they are shite. Lil Bruv has one and gets fewer stations than my old anna-log transistor radio.... also he finds the signal comes and goes ~ a bit like good old 208 used to. Strangely his Freeview TV picks up all the duff stations he can't get on his wireless.... We assume the problem is the lack of an outdoor aerial on the radio ~ It's a Roberts BTW so should be good if the price is anything to go by.

Post by: Uncle Mort on April 18, 2012, 02:21:23 PM: Just turned on the TV and there were 8 message from Top Up TV (subscription channel that downloads extra programmes) each saying that it was unable to download a programme. I guess due to the final switchover today although I thought it was just a switch off of the analogue channels. rubschin: However, none of the eight I would want to watch anyway. <thinks> maybe the subscription is a waste of money.
