Bob Minchin was thinking very hard :

I was in the room when cast iron bench ends were turned into... a bench. I still haven't worked out if the valve based Murphy radio was gutted of the valves etc and replaced by Bluetooth reciever (murdering *******s). Or if the BT Rx was just added into it so it still worked as a valve radio, with added BT fuctionality, an acceptable upgrade. But yes the money they get for these things is silly and that's from shops/dealers so an end punter will be paying even more. It is of course a bit of advertising for those shops on mainstream television... -- Cheers Dave. |

Bloody annoying when somewhere he features is where you have recently visited, Missus ",Oh we didn't see that , I would like to have done that". Yes , Dear we went on a short visit for a couple of days, he has a research team* that finds out about the region and arranges everything before he goes, and not all those places are just around the corner and not all just open up as easily as it appears on the telly. * I actually went to a talk given by him recently and he mentioned his team. It's only small but they are almost all in their early twenties either on their way to ,in the middle of or recently left University, quite interesting work I would think. G.Harman |
