Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial they may seem

when things are actually dangerous, you expect them to be dangerous so are more careful?

Yep all the safety devices in modern cars (Seatbelts, Airbags, Crumple zones, Anti lock brakes, etc.) mean that although accidents are more survivable they have led to lower driving standards and higher speeds, try doing 90mph in an old Viva or Marina..............utterly terrifying.

That has nothing to do with it's safety, just your failing eyesight/lack of attention! 😆

Can you still get a black and white television licence, and can you still buy a black and white television set.

I'm curious as to why you'd want one?

You can't buy B&W TVs new anymore, for obvious reasons (no one would buy one), although I'm waiting for someone to post a link to some retro niche website that does actually sell them new. Yes you can pay £60 odd for a B&W license, but you're not allowed to record anything i.e. you can only use it as a dumb tv plugged into an aerial

Maybe there's in article in Electronics Monthly. How to convert a colour television to black and white.
