apparently if you watched her cooking programme according to the ever suffering husband,, "all your doughnuts will look like fanny's"

I think there's a declining number of us here who know what your talking about. - From my earliest days of tv watching where tvs were rented and we couldn't afford a colour one, so black and white only, and imagining what colour things were supposed to be

What we really need to know is whether the two Dempseys are related!  This could get very confusing...Mick Dempsey and Mike Dempsey!  How have I never noticed that before?  maybe you don't post on the same threads generally?

Mike is more wood working and milling iirc, so we rarely cross threads.

A colour TV licence is £174.50.

A black and white TV licence is £58.50.

 

You get a generous 50% discount if you’re registered as blind.

 

I’ve always thought there’s not much point getting the colour one, is there?

At one point we had a rented TV from Martin Dawes, it took 50p pieces like the gas meter. I remember my Dad would have a big stack of 50p pieces on top of the TV when the snooker final was on, especially if Terry Griffiths was in it.

You'd be needing a radio license if you are deaf too.... 

 

 

 

(Had to check, might be memories to anyone over about 60)
