I had a TV on rental from DER for many years. I stayed with them when they changed ownership, at one point they became Boxclever, I can't remember if they operated under any other names.

Eventually, I acquired another set and told them I didn't want to rent any more. They told me I could buy the set I'd been renting, something which had never occurred to me..

Well, I thought if it was a reasonable price I might buy it as a spare because although it was an old set, it had never been any trouble.

When they came back to me with a price, I couldn't believe it, TEN POUNDS!

And I'd been paying them about £18 a month for many many years!

Colour TV definitely started in UK in 1967. I saw colour tv for the first time at a boyfriend's house in Widmerpool. He was the son of a Nottingham scrap metal merchant, mentioning no names here! Apart from the wonders of seeing television in colour I also saw piles of gambling chips on the sideboard ...... summat I'd NEVER seen in my life before !!
