Curry's have them for about £70. I doubt your TV picture would be very good with a long Scart lead. Could be a loss of quality. Check first and then get someone to make you the required length if you decide to go ahead. BTW, did you get your CD Writer?

I would say that is your best bet because scart leads are expensive because of the multitudeaf cores in them.

In all my long life I only had one near encounter with a drag artiste. It was in the Isle of Man at Douglas the main resort [for the Americans etc.]. I was barely eighteen and enjoying a couple of weeks complete freedom away from home restrictions. In those days well brought up young working men class had never heard of abnormal sexual behavior. The Isle of Man was reputed for its generous licensing hours the pubs opened at 10 am and closed after midnight. We went in a pub on the front at 10 am and started drinking bitter with whiskey chasers called boilermakers. There was entertainment on all day and evening and we were admiring the attractive young women who sang the latest songs of the day. Naturally we had to pay a visit every so often to the toilets and on one visit as I was relieving myself one of the said young ladies breezed into the next stall, lifted her skirts and proceeded to extract a male organ. Well my eyes came out like chapel hat pegs and I made a mess of my trousers. I rapidly exited the urinal to tell my friends who were equally unsophisticated That was the first really big drinking session I had ever had and at tea time we repaired to the digs feeling quite good and I was exalted by the fact that I didn't feel at all sick. We went up to our rooms to wash and change and then went down to the dining room for tea [you got tea then not dinner] We were sitting relating our experiences when the lady of the house brought the tea and plonked it on the table, boiled Finnan Haddock, I got one whiff and skittered away up the stairs to shove my head down the toilet pan. I have never before or since been as ill in my life and didn't go out for two days after. I've never touched Finnan Haddock since and I've also never been as near to a drag queen.

Hi All, Well he beat me to it didn't he? I'm afraid I passed out at 3 o'clock this afternoon and had to be woken by my son at 6.30p.m. so I missed the 5 o'clock deadline. Boo! Hoo!
