Best TV 2015: what TV should you buy?


New Links.

Thanks, Hilary.

Yes. You are correct with all of your advice and which I already follow.

I was able to swap the battery because I find it always best to keep a stock of spares. But that didn't work in that the 30 yr old clock mechanism has also given up the ghost.

Amazingly, I bought 2 new clock mechanism on Ebay for £1.98 delivered. These things are literally, 'ten a penny'. The prices are ridiculous!

But let's talk about 'landfill'. I don't have too much of a problem with this, providing the waste is controlled so as not to create dioxin and other detrimental emissions down the line. I see 'landfill' as a hole, made in a poor quality site, filled in with waste, then covered over with other material (eg. ballast) and eventually covered over with earth. Then, finished off with tree planting so that the end result is a higher 'aesthetically near natural creation' compared with what was there before. Indeed, many 'slag heaps' of the past are now quite lovely, rolling wooded hills.

I am aware, that, for example, 'food stained pizza delivery boxes' are absolutely no use and cannot be treated as 'waste paper'. Maybe they would make good landfill or maybe they would make good fuel? I am not an expert on this subject.
