These days carrying your new telly is like carrying an envelope. Progress if you ask me.

A TV repairman whilst fixing our rental told me never to buy Bang&olufson, because the tube was exactly the same one as in a Samsung.

Don’t think that was the case back in the 1970s.Most TV companies these days use other manufacturers screens as relatively few make them. Sony use LG screens for their OLEDs and Samsung screens or their QD OLED sets. Because of the tweaks the do the same screens look different though.

I've had my Samsung for 9 years and it's still going strong. Like the day it was born.

I have a Samsung QLED. Very pleased with it.

Samsung weren’t even making TV’s when I worked at Newland Televisions and Bang and Olufsen were the best available at the time.

Can’t remember his name but a decent bloke. Used to have a pint with him in the Avenues now and again. Got a Mitsubishi from him as he said at the time they were the most reliable. Best set I had had up to that time.

Keith was the owner, he restored classic cars in his spare time, he used to give me a lift home in his E-Type.

They indeed were. And a pipe dream for most of us.

What about their treatment of women as second class citizens? Or human rights in general. Though there have been previous tournaments in countries with questionable human rights and attitudes to LGBT+, Argentina, South Africa, te Soviet Union, China…There are many countries we trade with, go on holiday to or buy goods from with attitudes which are different from ours on these things. Turkey doesn’t meet our lofty standards either.
There are countries which have an intolerant attitude to LGBT+ but not women, some with women leaders and even some in the EU .The ones that persecute LGBT+ and treat women as second class citizens do have one common denominator though…

Yep, they're pieces of **** for that too. Anybody that craps on somebody for something they can't help is pond scum.

But let's face it, they just looked great. They were no better than any other telly.

Think I had a rediffusion with a Sony tube once, got a steam powered Panasonic now 15 years old works perfectly , one day I’ll get a bigger flashier one !

 

[Kempton]

Do shop around though, I got lucky. The young man in the shop me a knowing smile and nod.

Have I made a good choice then?

I'm not allowed to say sir...

Enthusiasm here in the States is tepid as well, and it's been eight years for us. The event should have never been awarded to Qatar. What is it about large, international entities which inexorably drives them to corruption?

The other bidders were Australia, Japan, South Korea and the USA. Any of those would have been a much better choice. I mean Oz might have been a bit of a nightmare given the time difference, but I’d stay up for it. With this mess, it’s just not worth it.

I can see some players just not being bothered.
Will also be interesting to see the refereeing in Qatar’s games. I didn’t realise they had managed to get to 50th place in the rankings, considering their squad is pretty ****e.

Aus has got a large supply of people from around the world, who haven't been lured there as slave labour. Many games would sell out.

Until the 90’s, it was rare for anyone to buy a TV, generally they were rented.

True. My mum used to work at Granada back in the 70s / 80s. Not only renting tellys but videos as well. Must have watched most of them during the early 80s.

NuBar on Kingston Road Willerby is named after the TV shop Nuway Electrical that was there before it.

Does it still have its umbilical cord or has it withered and fell off?
