Do you need a TV that big? Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a new pair of glasses?

Haha tell the kids
I bought a 49" one last year thinking that was big enough, but they are all telling me it's too small so it's being relegated to the kitchen apparently.

bloody kids!! I grew up on 10-12 inch telly screens and 1 old black and white telly
they will never know the struggles!!
My partners brother has a huge telly as well 4k flat screen and he assures me when he plays his PS4 Pro it is excellent so sure you kids will love playing their games on something as big as a cinema screen as well!
Looks like you get 200quid back which makes it a reasonable price for a high spec telly. Might be a good shout
However you could pop to PC World they have a huge selection there and could pick something as high quality as that for maybe cheaper

You don't know struggles unless you've had to re-wind a cassette tape by hand and then listen to music change speeds because you got the tension all wrong... youngesters.. pffff

Can't forget "high speed dubbing" man, now that was technology!

Smart money says Ross has never even seen a record player.
And yes....I remember sitting with me Decca radio/cassette player, finger poised over the pause button, 'cos hitting the Play/Record buttons at the same time was a bit of an iffy proposition.

I see your tapes and raise you some 8 tracks!
Clearing a flat from a tenant that did a runner they were the only interesting things left behind. Sadly not much value in them yet!

yeah sorry dude, bit of a thread hijack!
Your TV getting relegated to the kitchen is as big and newer than the TV I have, so I'm of no use at all.
