Old TV ?

[cornishcarlos]

Anyone have a TV to get rid of ? If you are upgrading or just want to make space.

MIL needs a new TV but doesn't need flat screen smartness She only watches the news.

Recycle, it's the way fwd

You'll be lucky, my family are already recycling everything we do not want, even the second hand tissue paper. Only joking. It has been a standard rule ever since my marriage nearly 11 years ago, anything that is past it's sell buy date goes to the village. I would be charged with treason if I were to try and give anything away to anyone else. Its more than my life is worth.

managed to give my old tv, via a friend of a friend, to a house maid who took it back to her family in the village - they didnt have a tv!

nothing wrong with it and should keep going for years - certainly longer than its replacement!

not sure exposing them to thai soap operas will be beneficial though...

Lovely stories but doesn't get the MIL off my back

Anyone have a second-hand radio?

Go to one of the TV repair shops. They probably have one that they repaired that no one picked up and will sell it for what it cost to repair. I live in the sticks, not in Samui, and I bought one, only 21", from the local repair guy for 600 baht for MIL and it's worked fine for years. She only watches one channel and I don't think that she's ever changed it since I first turned it on but there are only three channels available where she lives.
