Those of an mature generation will possibly remember the expression, "A right Cadbury's". Though in this case it doesn't apply.

Steve A.

Cadbury's made a chocolate bar with saltanas, currents and nuts in the chocolate, called a 'Fruit and Nut Bar', those persons, lovers of this product in the TV commercial were each called, "A Fruit and Nut case", 'A Nut Case' = a mildly insane, oddball, eccentric and whacky character...like most of us here perhaps? (I do include myself).

Steve,

I doubt Cadbury's ever envisaged anyone using their biscuit tin as a low def. picture monitor so the appellation might be true!!

(I was going to ask for sponsorship. but I thought better of it)

Kind regards,

I love this monitor design...there's nothing quite like the feeling of building a working TV using random junk :)

Seems like I'm doomed, my kitchen doesn't have a table...

Dom,

I've just sent Jeremy a write up of the hole punch kit associated with this monitor.

I doubt it'll will meet the publication date for the next issue of the Newsletter though,

Cheers,

Graham
