    The ones I hate are the sickly 'over 50's life cover' like when neighbour or somebody pops and they launch into an in immediate depth conversation on life assurance and their finances, like you do!!

    I'm glad nobody is fooled by the faux sentimentality of the nationwide ads. I have PTSD and around 10 years ago I a further incident worsened it dramatically. I lost control of my finances and nationwide by some margin were the least sympathetic of all the companies I had dealings with. About a year later I randomly got a letter from them saying the FCA had looked at their loan agreements and found them lacking. As the agreement was wrong the debt could not be legally enforced. However they would still like me pay the remaining £3000 as usual. I cancelled the direct debit and told them to go and f&CK spiders. Revenge can be sweet.

    The most modern telly’s have a coax aerial input, the oldest VHS only had that option.

    I had a VHS player and an early DVD recorder hanging around till recently; till the Mrs asked when I’d last used it, and realised I’d been transferring tape to disc for mates but hadn’t a real use for them.

    the DVD recorder went to the tip containing the Barnsley v Chelsea cup game.

    In the early days Videos used the coax aerial feed through to put their output out like an extra TV channel. They added a modulated signal to all the others your aerial had picked up. You tuned your TV to pick up this extra channel.
    That was in the days of analog broadcasts. If you have a modern TV that won’t work as they only have digital TV tuners so no way can you play a video via the aerial socket anymore.

    If you TV still has an analog tuner as well as a digital one it would work. But it would definitely have SCART as well

    My smart tv is not that old, has 4K, a coax socket* and analogue tuner, no scart socket, but does have the phono input, so if I had a scart device I could plug it in. :)

    *havent had an aerial plugged into the telly for nearly 20yrs though.
