    Not even I would use a black & white telly

    People who still use old gadgets - BBC News

    I've still got a Spectrum somewhere, dunno if it works.

    And a dial telephone (or two) which haven't been plugged in for ages.

    I've still got 2 or 3 b&w tellies though.

    I seriously suggest running Blade Runner through whatever you use, to convert it to black & white. It gives you a whole new slant on it.

      I suppose colour blind people don't have a problem watching black and white TVs, although it must be tricky to find a 4K model.

        Our house phone is a rotary dial one. Means you might get through to a person because you can't press 1 for assistance.

        On the downside, it takes 45 minutes to dial the number in the first place.

          I haven't got one of those either.
          I have.

          Not a Smith Corona though.
