Very impressive. But expensive. Why none of those complaining about the inability to turn them off has thought of chucking a towel over the screen beats me. Does that block the ventilation grill on the back of the screen, thereby creating a fire hazard? -- Hiram Hackenbacker

I thought they were a godsend to while the hours of tedium. If you really don't want to see them they're easy enough to swivel round and put against the wall. I used to prowl the ward switching the TVs to headphones for those ****s who ignored them and left the sound blaring at full volume. What is it with the great British public, are we really turning into a nation of ignorant, selfish ****wits? Regards Mark
