    Thanks for that Spike, we had a brief dabble with Cable TV when I was working for Plessey, some tie up with Scientific Atlanta. I think Maggie had a scheme to cable up the nation, it came to nothing though.
    Should of stuck with our successful? range of Baird Televisors ( who needs more than 30 lines)
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
