I’ve had a few TVs go wrong over the years (including this week) and the guy at Teleview never fails to sort it - unless it’s going to cost more than £100 when he simply advises you to bin it.
Beer has been good, but it will be interesting to hear from other barristers. I read today an interesting “side story” in Private Eye ( apologies if previously posted). A few years ago a sub postmaster was jailed for the murder of his wife. Apparently the main motive was to hide the cash...
