Digital Switchover Grumping

The digital switchover has gripped the nation for many months now. And for one couple in Essex, it has brought unexpected, um, perks.

Coronation Street

No Corrie for us...but we do get adult channels!

NIGHTS in front of the TV are no longer the same for one Wix couple.

David and Dee Coe have lost out on Coronation Street and have picked up
adult and shopping channels after retuning their TV for the digital
switchover on Wednesday.

Previously, they received terrestrial channels one to five. Now they
only get BBC.

Mrs Coe, 68, of Harwich Road, said: “It’s not just the shopping
channels. We suddenly have all these adult channels, which are
disgusting.

“We don’t want them. I’m missing Coronation Street and Loose Women and
want them back.

“All I can say is it’s good we don’t have children.’’ They sought help
from Digital UK, the company leading the switchover.

The couple say they were shocked to find they could wait a year until
the area receives a signal boost, and even that might not solve the
problem.

Mrs Coe said: “We phoned first thing on Thursday, only to be told
because we are getting the signal from Sudbury it isn’t strong enough
for this area.

“We could have to wait up to a year before we could get back ITV and
see the other channels.

“They told us an alternative would be to buy more equipment.

“But I don’t see why we should have to.

“We are pensioners and the television is all we have to look forward to.

“It’s incredibly disappointing.”

A Digital UK spokesman said the couple were suffering from variable
reception.

He said he would pass on the concerns to the broadcasting team. He
said: “It might be Freeview is not the best option for them.

“I would recommend they look at alternative digital services, such as
Freesat.”

Spot the home-made sign

I don't know the background to this story. And, in line with the hard-hitting journalistic integrity of this blog, I don't care. But I very much enjoy the fact there is a cheese sandwich in that handbag. Once the hubbub has died down, and that nice young man from the paper has gone away, Doris will be all over it.

McDonald's Happy Meal 'came with cigarette'

A young mother was horrified when she found a cigarette inside a McDonald’s Happy Meal she bought for her son.

Now, if I'm honest, the baby looks more horrified than mum does. It's possible the child has just realised that a torrent of free Happy Meals lies ahead of him.

Yet again, Steve Mann comes up trumps. C'mon people, sort it out!

There's a big stink in Penrith

'Disgusting ... Rebecca Morgan and twin daughters Isabella and Scarlett, 1, at home in Erskine Park'

Is it the state of the bins following Penrith Council's decision to move to fortnightly refuse collections that the caption writer finds disgusting or Mrs Morgan and family? If it's the latter it seems incredibly harsh.

But then again she does appear ready to put one of the twins in the black wheelie bin...

There are few things more pleasing to the soul than the ire of the Daily Mail.

Pleasingly, over 800 people have taken the time out to comment on this story since it's publication less than 24 hours ago. And these are the same folks who will lambast foreigners for being lazy and work shy.
