This is what really happened!
Now I know that weather forecasting isn't an exact science but I do wish that they would explain why the forecast was wrong, rather than just pretend that it never happened!

SNOW!
It's been cold lately, so I've been keeping an eye on the weather forecasts. Last night was supposed to be clear and not too cold.
This is what really happened!

New TV
I decided to get a new digital TV for the bedroom - the old one was really past it and I thought that an LCD panel would be nice. Eventually, I decided on a Samsung from Argos. Bought it on Saturday, spent 20 minutes connecting and configuring and it was done. Nice picture; good sound.
About 40 minutes after I switched it off last night, I was woken by a voice in the bedroom -- the TV had decided to turn its audio on -- but only for about 20 seconds! OK, took it back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. Same 20 minutes wasted setting-up: same problem - 40 minutes after switching it off, the audio comes on for 20 seconds! Samsung customer services were charming, but hadn't heard of the problem. The offered a replacement within 7 days, but I took it back to the store (where they had now had 4 of the same model returned for the same problem) and replaced it with a cheaper model made by Bush. So far, so good -- watch this space!
