and I said I didn't want one.

we have one in our bedroom and I have moved it into the kitchen while the olympics is on, then it will go back.

I dont WANT a whizzy Sony probably expensive telly in our kitchen and I CERTAINLY DONT WANT IT MOUNTED ON THE WALL - NAFFOLA

Thanks.

God, the shame of a wall mounted TV.

I hope divorce proceedings have been instigated?

Hmmmm. I would be seriously pissed off to have a wall mounted TV anywhere in my house.

i'm with you findtheriver

I hope its just an extra kit and we can at least perch it on the side like normal people

and the infuriating thing is I have been asking him to put a shelf up there for AGES - YEARS - and he has always said oh no the wall is too crumbly it would be to hard and SUDDENLY WE CAN HAVE SOME CRAPPY TELLY ON IT

tbh if we had swanky new modern kitchen it would be fine

but we have crumbling, tatty country kitchen with lots of retro bits and pieces

if it was a lovely old fashioned black and white sony I would go for it

am happy to have whizzy flat screen in bedroom and sitting room

yuk!!

I have recently circumvented dh's wish for 'a tv on an arm which will swing out so we can watch it in bed'. ewwwwwww! Sounds very crossroads hotel.

I was at home when the tv point man came, so my bedroom telly has its happy home where I want it!

SHH, don't tell anyone

we bought a 32" from john lewis for sitting room

when we tried to swap it for a 28" they said no you have taken it out of box so it is effectively second hand we cannot resell at full price

I had to go BALLISTIC before they gave in

Isn't there a theory about the size of your telly being in inverse proportion to the size of your IQ.......
