Colour Blind

I have an old B&W set which I occasionally use to watch old films & TV on, but I've not had much chance to since I started my house moving process. Hopefully when I get settled in my new house I'll be able to have it & some other analogue sets easily accessible.

My first portable TV was a Pye 10 inch black and white with push buttons to change channels. Had one of those old metal hoop arials

My first b/w portable was a "Bush" with a tuning knob to change channels.

N.B.: The "Bush" products you buy today are nothing to do with the original company, Argos stores bought the brand name!

This is the set I was mentioning earlier.

That's pretty cool, how do you get programmes on it now they're only broadcast in digital?

I think you can plug in a DTV adaptor

Thanks for the feedback.

I normally use a device with a composite analogue output, & a modulator to convert it to a UHF signal.

I first heard the phrase "it must be a Tuesday" on 'Old Harry's Game'. And now it's here again.
What on Earth does it mean?

On the old Popeye cartoons, there was a character named Wimpy and he had a stock line. It was, "I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday for a hamburger today." And you just knew that that particular Tuesday would never quite arrive.

I remember him too, isn't that where The Wimpy restaurants got their name?

The Wimpy brand was established in 1934 by Edward Gold, when he opened his first location in Bloomington, Indiana, under the name Wimpy Grills. The name was inspired by the character of J. Wellington Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons created by E. C. Segar.
