After recent spats of misbehaviour my tele finally went the way of most electronic products after 7 years. So to a new one. The 'Which' guide best buy turned out to be a discontinued model, so I went for what I thought a half good'un. Sony LCD jobbie, I resisted the temptation to go for a huge mega screen opting for a 32 inch, plenty for our lounge I thought. Price was around the 800 quid mark but shopping around as we all do I found my local 'chain' electrical supplier could do no better than 725 quid. Ended up online at 568 pounds inc delivery. I would like to support local shops but at savings like the one I made how the hell can I or anyone else.
All I have to do now is work out how to plug the tele in and switch it on biglaugh

Have you tried taking it to Scole Engineering?

I simply can't adjust to the concept of you buying something new that works properly wink
