You lot don't half talk a load of pants. Just try doing what you say, that is assuming you actually understand what you're saying.

I've seen inside a detector van. There were a couple of old newspapers, a pair of old jeans and a dirty T-shirt. Other than that it was completely empty. It was just a van.

The equipment to detect pictures would cost way less than the van and paying someone to drive it.

Write a letter of complaint to Crapita and tell them the guy barged in without your consent. Also tell them the next guy that comes around will be set upon by your Zimbabwean Ridgeback, and after the dog has finished having sex with the pimp he will bite his nuts off.

Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Of course you wouldn't get a signal when disconnected, there was no load.

Oh I give up. This has got to be a piss take. No one is that stupid.

Except, doing things scientifically, we couldn't get a picture when the zx81 was disconnected from the TV.

However, this doesn't detract from the fact that there are very few, if any, actual detector vans.

Well, duh, of course you would. It has a transmitter to make the signal for the tv it was plugged into.

Jeez, you people are really just a jumped up typing pool, and a pretty pathetic one at that.

Except, doing things scientifically, we couldn't get a picture when the zx81 was disconnected from the TV. The purpose of the experiment was to show that any receiver also acts as a transmitter.

What ever evidence he collected wont be usable in court because, well there was no search warrant and it wasnt carried out by the police*

Agreed, it's called the 'Ministry of Defence' you moron.

Quite so, that is my point. To be tediously plodding, my point is that too many people adopt the US usage.

What's the "moron" bit about? I mean, if you're saying the same thing as me, and I'm a moron, then.... er......

Last time I was in the UK, I said "I'll have another half-litre of beer".

- "We call them "pints" here sir".

When I was at school, we connected a directional aerial to a tv, and pointed it at a ZX81 plugged into another tv. We got the picture that was displayed on the ZX81's TV, from quite a distance.
