Why do people keep referring to "tuning" via scart leads?

For the same reason they refer to "filming" things with video cameras.

My son's dog hoovers up food, yet she is not a vacuum cleaner.

There's another one! Hoover. A brand name. The device is a vacuum cleaner.


It's like people who say Tanoy when they mean public address system,
Tanoy is a brand name.

So what do you consider Midlands?
--

Leeds.



And anywhere else?


Durham is geographically in the Midlands but some of us North-Easterners
are
prepared to regard it as in the North. Certainly Darlington is in the
Midlands which goes down about as far as York. Places such as Manchester
are
definitely in the South. There are signs on the A1(M) cofirming all of
this.
As you travel south from Washington Services the direction boards say
(top
line) DURHAM lower line THE SOUTH.

Considering the last time I was out that way, GNER covered
the distance from Berwick to Edinburgh in about an hour and
a half, and the A1 is almost as direct, . . .. (BTW, yes, I
do know the franchise is now operated by National Express
instead of GNER.)
