Default Re: Humour in the TV trade.

One story I will always remember was the old enginner in British relay who did the wireless sets. He had been working on this old Pilot all morning and could not get the frequency changer to work. During lunch a couple of the apprentices put a transistor set behind the the speaker cloth tuned to the home service. They wrpped up the mains cable of the Pilot and went away. The old guy couldnt understand what was going on (for about 2 mins) but by gd did they get it!
