New LCD television how reliable

Do you have a mortgage ?

If so, it is prolly a condition of the mortgage

If not, your call

They say it never rains there

I've often heard that kind of talk before

[Peter Duncanson]

I've never tried that. If the spirits are strong enough the "spin cycle" would be the world as seen through the eyes of the drinker after a suitable quantity.

While I do, I'd still rather lay off a couple of hundred a year than have the potential need to spend it on replacing such a high value item

[geoff]

Brings to mind that tornado in Handsworth in Brum a couple of years ago, or the one in N London where the roofs were peeled off a whole row of houses

Not important - until it happens to you

[geoff]

But I do like this new word mash-shine that you have just coined

[Tim Streater]

It doesn't rain for perhaps 8 months of the year.

Me

I'm more concerned with what's on the TV (i.e. my brain is following the story being presented) than what may or may not be a marginally better picture (or not)

I find that excessive audio / videophiles tend to be either very rich or very sad

which are you?

[Andy Burns]

Buildings insurance I have (it *is* a condition of the mortgage)

Contents insurance, haven't had that since about 1988.

Unless it is located on the North Yorkshire coast (Scarborough area)

As opposed to the ones on Devon clifftops costing GBP 150 000?

I think you have your attributes mixed up there but, no matter

a house is an expensive item to replace

Costco are wholesalers. In the UK that means they cannot legally sell to the 'riff-raff' (your term - which seems to include yourself). They can only legally sell to retailers, businesses, professionals and institutions.

[Steve Firth]

I don't mond that, it's the fact that there are so few branches and they are all in out-of-the-way places that puts me off. I've seen on at Trafford Park near to the giant Asda which I suppose is convenient for some, but the others I've seen are in places line Avonmouth (why? the place is a dump) and the nearest to me is 35 miles away as the crow files (1h15m by car) and 56 miles by dual cariageway/motorway (59 minutes). That's a lot of fuel to go shopping.

Are they actually any better on price/service than the likes of Makro/Bookers? I've never found either of those to quibble about returns.

It was a cold call, I was in the middle of my lunch and it irritated me. =20

If it's something electronic, about £200.
