I think if you re-read Mr Miller's post you will see he was
alluding to a wave of immigration slightly earlier to what you might
be thinking, and making a fanciful suggestion that these people
might still be Vikings at heart.

That's it!

And on the latter point, I rest my case with the name of that well known
radio station --

and the name of the speedway team

Well I don't know about any of this. The only thing I can say is that
raping, looting, and pillaging is still popular in most areas of the
Danelaw.

Brookside Close for example is all trees to the south, so no
satellite dish would ever work there, and the prop satellite
dishes point north.

The new residents must have been pretty disgruntled that they
could not get anything on satellite.

Did they exhume the body from under the patio before the sale
was completed?

The houses have been available for a while, but to the best of my
knowledge, nobody's actually bought any of them yet. If anybody does,
they're going to find terrestrial TV reception very patchy and
satellite nonexistent, so maybe digging their gardens will be all they
can do to fill the time. Goodness knows what they'll find.....

Given Granada's history over the last twenty years, I'm surprised it
isn't a squarial ?

Yes, it would have added authenticity to have had a few dilapidated BSB
dishes/flat panels on the walls of the terraced houses. See

Thanks for the link to your website bill, I have just lost over 2 hours
going through your articles and scans, very interesting stuff.

I love the 1958 BBC booklet, High definition TV broadcasts in 1936, well
ahead of its time lol, 405 lines 25 "pictures per second" interlaced
scanning giving 50 "fields per second". how terminoligy has changed..

I can remember reading somewhere (though unfortunately I can't remember
where), that the BBC made a point of avoiding the term "frames" because in
the earliest days of television it meant different things on different
sides of the Atlantic. In America they referred to a frame consisting of
two fields, and we referred to a picture consisting of two frames. To avoid
confusion, the BBC started calling them Pictures and fields, but in general
usage the American terminology seems to have won.
