    You see you never had these problems with a good old fashioned am/fm radio in the car...where you just had to twiddle the nob ever few miles to try and find signs of life lol

    I find it can be a bit troublesome also, if the signal isnt good enough then you just get nothing. Signal coverage is widely known to be inadequate in many parts of the country even still. Interestingly we were meant to have a big digital switch over just like we did with tv in 2012, but I think now it's all but been abandoned. I know the BBC are keeping analogue radio going for the foreseeable future.

    Yep. And just out of interest, is my 8-track obsolete? Sure takes up a heap of space in the Citroen C1:D;).

    If I remember correctly, a 'Norfolk' was a drinks measure, equivalent to six fingers!

    You need to get with the times Nigel. A cassette tape player with APSS is the way to go these days!
