Things you learn: I hosted the Preen collection at the village hall this morning as their normal staff member had a health emergency. People would turn up with old style TVs with big fat backsides (the TVs that is) and say: "Do they take analogue?"
Well as a matter of fact they do but I wasn't sure why. Anyway, I spoke to Dan the Man from the Van about this and he pointed out that if there is scart socket capable of taking a digi box an old analogue TV is quite capable of chugging on in the digital age.
Does the electronics industry tell us this? Like hell they do - analogue is over they say, get a new telly quick. But it means that perfectly good kit goes to landfill or the crusher.
Good haul for Preen this morning both from home pick ups and in the village hall. Electronics and furnitiure. A big thank you once again to the VH management committee for making the hall available. A review of some of the items is below. Visit Preen on the web
