edit - I was surprised at how much better the picture was compared to my old set.

My old one was a cheapo (at the time) £350 one from asda and was about 4 years old.

My dad got me a Toshiba one from Argos that was £200.

Both are 32inch but the new one is much better.

My old one didn't even have freeview built in.

Right - wet-shave at the barbers and a quick trim organised yes?

Her daughter is already over here studying Chinese at Manchester University. Her son is flying over from Chicago, but her Mother's in her eighties and not fit to travel really.

We are streaming it over the internet to the states though, so her mum, sister, neice, cousins etc. can see it.

Going over in October to see people & have a party thrown for us... :)

Been there, done that and now I'm serious and experienced, I'd say.
