RE: OT Widescreen TV

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

My folks bought an ex-display ITT television from a company called
"Greens"
in Gainsborough...

...it had no remote but came with full warranty and instructions etc.

They've just replaced it with a whizzo JVC TV / VCR / DVD "triple
pack".

Nothing special huh? And just a bit of a downer that it didn't have the
remote?

Naaaah ... It didn't have a remote because when this thing was current TV's
*DIDN'T HAVE* remotes - it lasted over twenty years and was still working
OK!
