Greetings denizens
My room was cleaned today by the cleaner who switches the television to 4music. It always confuses me when I turn it on expecting Radio 4.
Of course, you might think it strange that the radio comes out of the television. I however do not.
In the Sixties, my parents owned a television that also acted as a radio (and had these nice slatted blinds you could draw across the screen when you weren't using it as a telly).
In those days the telly came via VHF, and the Home, Light and Third via Medium and Long Waves. The telly became obsolete when the VHF TV signal was turned off. Of course, one could still get the wireless, but that wasn't good enough for us
But at least my earliest childhood prepared me for the twenty-first century when, once again, the radio comes out of the televisionComment

Firefox on m desktop has got its knickers in a twist. Too many addons managing sessions. Know it has lost all its tabs and there are no sessions to be restored.
That is very slightly very annoying.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
