LOL! I wonder if they even checked the returned TV. How big did you go? I've heard that size matters. I'm old enough to remember getting our first colour TV :)
I've heard tales of cards in London phone boxes advertising a '20 year old TV' and people wondered who would want that.
I only went 55 inches. Which actually seems massive. I think that is quite restrained compared to folk I know.
Haha, phone boxes and cards in them, oh that takes me back to my youth when things were so much different!! LOL!
Ours is a mere 49", but it's in a big room, so we could go larger. I do eye the sets in Costco and John Lewis, but then think that I don't watch that much TV. Mind you, the prices have really dropped. As a student I got by with a 16" 'portable' (barely) set.
You don't seem to get the phone box cards so much these days. I would see a lot around King's Cross, but maybe they advertise online these days. Who actually uses a phone box these days anyway?
Yeah the prices crash down as they keep getting better, mine was a Samsung for under £400! I was very impressed. My mate spends daft money on his TV set up which I would never do.
I saw a phone box the other day and it stuck in my mind because it was such a rare thing to see. It was an old red one. I was like aw, look at that!
