No. Not really. You misunderstood me. I read El Pres' post as wondering what could be done so I merely raised an option.

Good point, well made, and I should have said DIRTY Leeds too of course.

An interesting factoid is the main reason VHS won the video war was the proliferation of porn on that medium as opposed to Betamax. Surely you were #teamVHS?
You’re absolutely right that the adoption of VHS by most American grumble flick production companies was a key factor in the video wars, my material was sourced from Germany at the time where Betamax was the chosen medium amongst stick thespians

Perhaps it was the 1980s video tape war that sparked off the scrap on Platform 1?

To get my first mortgage I had to find a job on the cards so I took the job of installing TV'S and Video machines with Radio Rentals and those Betamax machines weighed a ton when you had to carry them up 20 flights of stairs to install them in people's house's ( and they were a pain in the arse to tune in on the old TV's as well) as were the old TV's as flat screen television wasn't invented then !!

Nope. One guy said the Spectrum was better than the C64. He rightfully got what he deserved. The Amstrad fan kept quiet and the BBC B owner went and told teacher.
Oh how I long for the days of a 4 (four) button remote control, with the impossible to lose feature.

Classless pricks indeed. From thinking this is all a bit of a larf wiv their mates, I would imagine now the naming and shaming may well bite them on the arse. Down here in Dullsville (Southampton) their actions haven’t gone down too well. With possible police action and a three year ban by the club on the cards I reckon regret is their current mood of choice at the moment - oh, and the fact that they got caught.
Just hope none of the Video 2000 crew got involved

That's so last year, the in crowd are pining for the return of monochrome televisions with only two stations and the national anthem being played each night at close down

i’d be more scared of the Phillips disc owners using the silvery circles as throwing star frisbees

and better still that programme about a tablet that they repeated every night after the NA. Seemed to last a little while with its gentle glow

We were V2000 - could record both sides
I remember my old man coming home with one saying their the next best thing, only problem was not many decent films were available in that format [emoji23][emoji23]
It’s quite sad that people can’t behave in a sensible, polite manner without a police presence
I heard one bloke got some police presents. Several nights with Her Majesty's Prison Service.
Bloke in the front row of WSL is similar - stood up and applauded (in the style of of Mr Tumble) when Locadia got taken off, before screaming 'about ****ing time Hughton you useless ****ing ******' or similar.
Reminds me of the Boro fan (I think it was Boro) throwing his season ticket at the Home dugout on the last game of the season
