Ah yes, an interesting time delivering a message. All worked out well for you though. Delighted that you have been able to rise Phoenix-like from the trials and tribulations of B & O retailing in the North West.

Shopping in B & Q (not B & O) this morning, they had a Phil Collins track playing. Guess what that made me think of!!!

Steve,

I knew golfing Steve in a previous life - did you once spend an awkward 40 mins in Wigan....?

My father-in-law says that Mr Stonk is a very nice guy and thanks for the £50 and taking away the Avant.

I set up his new Panasonic 37" LCD and can confirm that on terrestial digital the picture is crap. About as far removed from a B & O picture, even on a 10 year old Avan, as you could get. On Sky HD though it is pretty good.

Can't wait to put Sky HD into my BV8-40, but the Misses wont let me yet, so if anyone is thinking of having a high class conservatory let me know. I promise to look after Beoworld members.

Stevethegreatgolfer:

My father-in-law is getting an HD TV to replace his faithful Avant. John Lewis want £9 to take it away but wouldn't it be much nicer for someone who would appreciate it to collect it from Princes Risborough and maybe drop him £50. It works very well apart from the deck. No Beo4 as he needs to keep that for his Ouverture.

Any takers?

Steve

Hi Steve,

Great result, i told you youd find it a good home on Beoworld

Looks like Chris is deferring to Stonk on the very sensible basis of proximity so if Stonk wants to confirm collection around Wednesday next week then everyone is happy.

Arggghh lol.

OK. Chris if you want it, shout & please confirm here and arrange with Steve to collect. If you don't then please also mention here & I'll contact Steve.

Hi Steve.
Far more sensible to let Stonk have it, due to proximity. So for this reason.....

....I'm out!

I'm lost.......Who is having it? It will be available next Wednesday when the replacement is being delivered.

I have been offered an Avant locally(Durham) although not for £50 so i will go ahead with this!!! Very sporting Stonk(hat tipped)

Steve I sent you a PM yesterday - ignore that. As it's a flat screen I would upgrade our familyroom Avant from a 28" that also has a duff vcr to this 32" and am very happy to offer the £50 but only if the guys who posted above don't wish to proceed.

It is about 9 or 10 years old. It is Real Flat. Princes Risborough is near High Wycombe, but posher.

Jandyt — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:04:54 GMT

Oh, Roger Diddley.
If you go for it Steve, I have a goosed Avant 32 with a good VCR you can have.
If it's real flat, I would still be interested.
