Re: Humour in the TV trade.
When I was in the trade in Cirencester, back in the late 1970s, we had a rental customer called Mr, Dyer. He was a bit of a local yokel with a broad west country accent
When he telephoned us, we had a job keeping a straight face as he would announce "Hello - it's Mr. Dyer 'ere"!
The irony of it was that his house was a right tip and smelt like ***t!
Incidentally, if I had a pound for every time a customer told me that "the picture valve's gone", I'd have a sackful by now!
