    @TherealNihal Think that's bad, tommorow will be 28 days since Teesside lost it's Freeview transmitter. So no sky, no TV. Weirdly got DAB but no FM apart from local radio. It's like being in the Stone age. One positive, mood change is weird, no stress better sleep, easier to get to sleep too.

    Virgin Media broadband is brilliant, phone line and mobile sims good, but their TV offering is poor. Alas, they package them all together. Their basic TV offering is no better than Freeview. The rest are exorbitant Sky packages etc. Apps dead slow through TiVo. Firestick v fast.

    @g5pr @afneil @GBNEWS Yeah. 100%. He was the draw for me. Watched a few of Neil Oliver but he's too long winded for me. Keep meaning to track down Alex Philips via Freeview but haven't got round to it. Don't understand why Andrew Neil has gone off it. Too woke for him or what?
