No TV for the last three days on and off all the time
Called someone out to check Ariel who said the
Pressilli transmitter is having work done why didn't
You let people know with a tv message saying work
Was being carried out, you did last time I could have
Had somebody in telling me I needed a new Ariel
Which would have been over 100. This is just not
Good enough.
