j66, thankyou for that.
marinyork, sorry I've been out for a ride.
17 inch CRT !!!!? I should be so lucky.
My post , no.3 , has obviously left the impression that I am sat in front of a 12 inch B&W, lit by a single candle, Topping up my ketchup bottle with the sachets I've nicked from Mc Donalds .
I'll have you know we have a 32 inch , Yes 32 INCH Panasonic !
Oh yes.... we threw caution to the wind last year and we're going to buy a video player to go with it soon.
With regards to which manufacturer to go with, I will probably go with xbox as I have a nephew who has one so I can borrow his games as well.
