Yes. The only thing that really counts is the programme content. Which is why I watch the Beeb more than anything else. And of that, BBC4 more than the other channels. And why I visit their News web site more than any other. Between Freeview, a PVR and the iPlayer it's pretty close to TV on demand. -- Peter

Ooo, I get that as well ... as you say as subtly different frequency and centre (often definitely in one ear). It comes in like someone's just turned on a siggy-gen and I often actually listen to it ... and it generally just sits at the same tone and volume for (as you say) maybe 15 seconds then sorta dopplers itself away? >As I said, I'm lucky. Well, only in the 'count your blessings' way I suspect. Cheers, T i m

Only if you are determined to see trouble; in that respect, as I said, it doesn't spoil my life, and one way and another life continues to be pretty terrific. -- Peter

I was told that it caused a dispute among the unions which was the exact opposite from the usual "who does what" dispute - it was such a pig of a thing to operate that nobody wanted the job of working it. -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk |
