Re: Fridge for the AV room ?

["Simon Coates" <ecolume@xxxxxxx>]

When I went to Powerhouse to get a Tivo they had some smart glass fronted fridges c/w 20 cans lager and a stick on England flag - couldn't resist it.=
They also had some smaller glass fronted fridges, about 2ft high.  B&a= mp;Q do
them also.  Approx =A380.
