Personally I don't give a f**k how it's spelled (spelt?) - the whole point
is that I have a serious investment in FM radio in my life and I don't want
to have to scrap it at someone else's whim. Telly converters are one
thing - telly's tend to be fixed objects in our lives. All my radios, bar
one, are portable devices. One is even a wind-up jobbie that I intend to
save the planet with (sic.) and I sure as hell don't want to have to consign
all of these very efficient and perfectly satisfactory units to the skip
unless they cease to work (internally) - unless, of course, HM Govt. would
like to replace them all (at their expense) with the DAB equivalents (most
of which don't friggin' work without an external aerial at present). If
they want to do that I'll be happy to withdraw my sig. from the petition.
