Mark Aberfan Aerials: Everytime I go back I'm still amazed by how "done" the place is now.

Back in 1985 when I was there, "The Point" has just opened - the first multiplex Cinema in the UK. It was on it's own in a wasteland, but it's not now.

I was involved with MK Cable for a very brief period when BT owned it, along with the much more prestigious but equally low-tech Westmister Cable.

Don't worry, I marked the anniversary this week, and I'm sad because the memories are all good ones.

dave maden: There is no such thing as a "digital aerial".

As it says above "To receive signals from this transmitter, the aerial must be mounted for vertical polarization - the elements going from top to bottom. "

You just need, as long as the aerial is on the roof, a "bog standard" area, either group A or wideband.

Peter: The figures are rounded to three decimal places, as are therefore both precise and accurate, as per the normal conventions of mathematics.

If you download the KML file or follow the links you will find the figure to six decimal places.

Did I mention how many mathematical qualifications I have?

Mark Aberfan Aerials: Much like the "Chuggers" (Charity Muggers) who are employed by a company on behalf of the so-called-Charities they work for, who claim to want people to donate, but actually want their wages paid as usually the first years worth of contributions are required to pay their wages.

No only is this not charity (a word that means "love" in Middle English), it circumvents the Charities Act which people who volunteer to collect cash from the public.
