Ah, I tried that last night, seems my black & white telly, the valve driven type, with the big magnifying glass over the screen, is not compatible. Strange that, my 65 year old MG works on modern fuel, maybe it's something to do with digital. Is digital like the digits on your hand? My old jukebox throws a wobbly when I show it CD's. But my finger dial phone still works, so it must be that digital is a posy way of saying that you have to use your digits.
I really do have an old jukebox, finger dial phone, bathroom scales in imperial measurements only, no metric, kitchen counter-balance scales also imperial only, a valve driven wireless, (that's a radio not some router thingy,) a 1926 pushbike and I kept my first mobile phone. It's a 1996 Alcatel, the model that came immediately after the brick. It's about the size of a one pound bar of chocolate, the sim card is the size of a credit card and the battery takes up most of the phone space. Digital technology made it redundant until one of those geeky whizz kids came up with a clever piece of wizardry that he fitted in the phone. I tell you, the looks you get when the phone rings, it sounds just like a landline ring, ring and the jawdrop reaction when I get the phone out, pull out the aerial and say: "Hello!"
