Lets hope it is not from the same mould as the "up-cycling" programme
where stupid amounts of money are spent turning one sort of crap into
another sort of crap.

I've just seen that the Repair Shop programme will be broadcast each
weekday for 3 weeks - 15 episodes
Fingers crossed for things of technical interest!

Thanks to the OP for heads up

Did you see the " bench made for 4 chairs glued together" that looked
exactly like 4 chairs stuck together and charged about £350 by the wood
butcher who did it. UGH!

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...

They used to sell chairs joined together as they counted as pews and
were exempt from purchase tax. When you got them home you just unscrewed
them and arranged them round the dining table.

They should have sold the dining table as an altar.

Not clear why Christians have an altar as they don't seem to sacrifice
anything any more.

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.
