Removing these signals from our TV sets would have the twofold advantage of allowing us to enjoy our programs through to the end and freeing our minds of the evil propaganda of our politicians.

Sounds like a cogent argument for removing all signals sent to TV sets to me. It would probably give rise to better radio programs to enjoy - assuming we could keep the politicians off those too.

You'd think that there was enough trouble in the world already without inflicting politicians on us via the media as well, wouldn't you?

Ah, but I would miss the cricket & Aussie Rules.

I prefer the real thing... Okay, I'm a bit spoiled here - I can get to the Oval and Lords on the tube, Rosslyn park and Twickenham in a short car ride, and I can go and watch the Derby, or go to any one of 3 other racecourses within easy reach. And that's just sporting events - when you start on the cultural stuff - well, I almost don't know where to begin.

And because it's all so easy, I hardly ever bother with the sports stuff at all. If there was less of it on TV, then perhaps I might. I do still go to live concerts, though - you don't get quite so many spurious tones that way!

Ah yes, so do I, and it's accessible here too so I do, even though we're not quite so spoiled. But we manage to attend a variety of sports, plays & concerts. From our suburb built on what used to be a vineyard Sydney CBD is 40 min away via the expressway.

But I need that TV sport fix.

Careful, make it sound too good and, just as soon as a good airfare deal is found, you might have a family of 5 on your doorstep looking for a tour guide!

I second this!

Dunno about spurious tones not being heard at concerts - what about all those mobile phones?!  

Deja vu!

Wouldn't exactly be the first time. Sometimes we've had to accomodate them as well...

I suppose that you wouldn't believe me if I told you that London audiences were better behaved?  

Hmm.... I thought not!

Good then!  We'll be on our way shortly.
