Nothing against tennis or it's devotees personally, but when - in 2019 - programmes are still being bumped for the ****ing tennis, it reminds me how much I detest sport on TV. A hatred borne of (a) not really liking sport at school and (b) a childhood of missed TV thanks to sport overrunning, or simply just being there. Made all the worse with only 3 channels to chose from. Those were the days! Cricket too. Worst of all to a young one was the budget speech. Mind-numbingly boring and elbowing aside episodes of genuinely important stuff like Tin Tin or Blue Peter. |

Didn't realise the capital was so much later than Glasgow. The temporary Aberdeen one at Redmoss was in place for the coronation too. My parents didn't buy a tv set until about 1960, we watched the Coronation in a friend's house. The room was packed Father was in the motor trade and went to the London show each year, so saw TV at his sister's place, long before it made it up north. And saw it as a way of getting out taking the family to the cinema. So got one as soon as it arrived. ;-) -- *Stable Relationships Are For Horses. * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

A friend went into his fathers house to find him watching football, and enjoying the game. His father said it was a good game, lot of goals. Score was something like 12-10. My mate then looked more closely and realised it was a screening of a xbox game. So the op may be correct. |
