Took a while before Guy Fawkes managed to set a trend but it's all happening these days. I had a Baird TV for years! All those names I grew up with are gone now... Healing, Pye, HMV, Kreisler, Astor, Admiral, Phillips... If somebody back then told me I'd be watching a Dick Smith in the 21st century I would have laughed my head off.
