We have recently changed our aerial but can no longer get Radio 4 long
wave in 3D or in widescreen. The colours have also faded. I
wondered if this was because our meter was changed to so that our
water in now charged by the unit. I enquired with the local 02 shop
and they say that the council no longer collect in our road weekly and
that this may effect, not only the signal but the actual pressurs of
the gas - which is taken directly from the pole (rather than a stand
pipe).

Currys say this may be covered in a warranty that I bought for a
Hotpoint twin-tub (black and white) from there Greenock branch in
1971.

Can anyone suggest a way forward so that we can once again listen to
the Today programme in 3D as we have always like John Noakes?

IIRC, the Kenny Everett show was the only UK radio programme to be
made in colour.

But there are two burners, one large, one smaller.

So we 'phoned the gas board, and they said "This has nothing to do with us".

That was closer to making sense than almost anything else you have
posted in recent months :)

There's your problem - you should have bought the extended warranty.

If you are on an elevated contrivance you might shit your pants.

That's when the washing powder proves invaluable.
