Grandad's TV

The world is going digital. Very soon, the analogue signal will be turned off. I think it will be in April. We decided to upgrade.

Our old TV used to belong to my Grandad. He bought it in the '80s, second hand. We inherited it when he died, age 96, in 2002. It's still going strong, so I didn't want to chuck it out. We upgraded to a digital one and Grandad's TV sat in the hall for a month.

Then Sally said she knows a little 89 year old lady called Betty, who would be pleased to have Grandad's TV, as hers has gone kaput. So, that's where it has gone. I hope it has a long and happy existence being watched by Betty.
