I this case there is no such thing as a free lunch and the cost of the
'free' goods is factored into the price of the other services that you
have to sign up to at the same time

No because you will own the TV from day one.

You will be bound by the contract however.

No doubt there is a lot of dubious small print (a speciality of $ky and the
Carphony Warehouse)

Yes i've always been one of the wierdo's who insists on reading any
small print. Saved my Bacon a time or two I can tell you.

Are you trying to imply that Carphone Warehouse is run by rentboys?

In fact, Groningen (de stad) is not in Holland, neither North Holland nor
South Holland, but in the province of Groningen, and was originally a
part of Frisia.

People would not say "just move to England" if there was a news
article about the City of Aberdeen, would they?

Many would :-( . Especially if they were American or French.

And many English people refer loosely to 'England' when they mean the
UKofGB&NI.

It is a bad habit amongst BBC commentators.

And we should all stop staying that Comrade Secretary General Iosif
Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili was a Russian, even state controlled Russian
Federation television networks.

The Postbank used to send mail to one of its account holders addressed
as "Edinburgh, Scotland, Engeland". He was not best pleased and could
not get it fixed. Plenty of Dutch people consider anything north and
west of them as "Engeland".

The point of my post was to suggest that the British govt do the same and
purchase 40" plasma TVs with built-in Freeview/Freesat receivers for
everyone on benefits.

The Dutch poster would probably only be able to select from a list, so if
the Scottish guy had asked for the country name to be set to
"Groot-Brittannië" specifically using the Dutch spelling, then it would
probably have been fixed in a jiffy.

Perhaps they were getting their own back for the way we insist on
referring to all of the Netherlands as Holland?

(A bit like naming all of England as Yorkshire)

The Westminster government prefers a different approach in dealing with
the poorest members of society, any method that will result in larger
profits for its friends and potential donors in the business world.

Is it not the case that reasonable quality Freeview DVB-t/MPEG-2 set top
decoder boxes are currently retailing between GBP 20 - GBP 30 ?

In each region undergoing DSO, the government is asking OAPs to pay
GBP 40 for the installation of such a box should the OAP feel confused
about and in need of help.

Talk about exploiting the weakest members of society ...

Compare that to the uncaring capitalist non-socialist USofA where all
households, regardless of age or income, can apply for USD 40.00 vouchers
to help in the cost of conversion.
