  1. Ah, I did wonder as I checked out my local Curry's and the picture quality varied immensely with the more expensive sets seemingly having poorer pictures than cheaper models.

     

    Yep you really need delve into the setup of the TV. As said avoid screen setting like vivid, dynamic, showroom etc. Obviously depends on the make of TV.

     

    Also getting the setting correct for things like gamma make a difference.

     

    Last new TV I bought approaching 2 years ago took me about 2 months to get tweaked to best settings and included a few search's on the web looking for info on the best way to set it up.

     

     

    edit: many sets have a sharpness setting , don't turn it up it usually needs turning down from default value.

  2. Not that it will ever happen, but I've often wondered what difference it would make if we went back to alcohol being available from pubs and from off-licences. That seemed to work well enough before supermarkets were allowed to flog booze.

     

    May help prevent underage drinking but I don't think it will stop alcohol related crime.

     

    Even places where alcohol is available only from specific licensed stores and not from supermarkets and garages see alcohol related crime from those who have reached the legal age.

  3. What you say about being enough measures already is true but that attack was so vicious and brutal it was clearly a hate crime.

     

    Not because they were 'Goths', (that night they were not dressed in what most people would consider goth clothing) but because they were different to the scumbags that carried out the attack. Yes they were dressed differently to the 'Chav' uniform but also because they were intelligent educated individuals hoping to make something of there lives.  The things that the scum dispise because its not handed to them on a plate.

  4. Greater Manchester police seem to be the “poster boys” for this sort of thing, publishing high-profile announcements about “treating assaults on goths and emos as hate crimes”

     

    There was me, thinking that assault, threatening behaviour and the like were against the law anyway?

     

    Trying to out do the neighbouring Lancashire Police following on from the murder of Sophie Lancaster. 

     

    Sophie's mother Sylvia does a lot of campaigning to have the law changed to include attacks on sub cultures classed as hate crimes.

  5. Mainline locos built at Crewe after they finished steam were Class 24, Peaks, Westerns and Class 47 in that order. New build deliveries in 1961 was all Peaks IIRC

    New builds yes but 74's which were built at Doncaster were rebuilt at Crewe.

     

    So Mike maybe a few years out and its was the 74's
