Why have you put an apostrophe in Currys?


He can if he likes. The founder was called Henry Curry.

Yes, but note non for on-line order and delivery it is a store only item,
suggesting to me only that price if any left in your local store.
£649 was a good price so if anyone fancies one get to the store quick, or
phone and get your name on one.

Interestingly, a lot of the TV shops started off as bike shops. Barker and
Wigfalls of Doncaster still sold bikes alongside the tellys right until they
closed a couple of years ago. That was a shock as well, for the trade
locally. I think virtually everyone in the trade in Donny had some
connection with them. Another of the pillars of the local TV trade going
under.

Do you, I got one of then 26" TVs from Lidls 3 years ago for £140,
Inside it has a Sony tube.

Mate has the same TV but with a BUSH badge on the front he paid £300 for it.



The lidl CRT TV's were made by Vestel, Turkey. Many, many
"manufacturers" have bought in from Vestel including Toshiba, Hitachi,
Sanyo, JVC and the usual Bush, Alba, Goodmans, and dozens of "unknown"
names. Actually the performance can be quite good, perhaps the
reliability less so. But they have never had Sony tubes. Sony made
Trinitron tubes for their own sets only.

In some ways I agree that you dont always get what you pay for but
there is usually a down-side to most low price brands unless you are
sure what is inside
