Now he can retire and live on the Family allowance and Child support

IT sales, actually. And it was the 1980s so he was taking his pay home in a wheelbarrow every day.

We've not had a telly since 2001, as I keep saying!

When we go visiting I am not only appalled at the quality of the programmes, but the picture quality has me puzzled. It is often like video tape quality and sometimes as Zeity says above.

I had assumed I was recalling stuff through rose-tinted memory specs.
