Very clever man. I wonder what he would think now, if he saw all the channels we have, and satellite TV? I think there were more quality, watchable programmes when we had just 3 or 4 channels. Lovely textures in this picture Joe. It looks like his glasses have worn away. Cheers, Rosa.

His glasses were stolen, Rosa. The same thing happens with the Donald Dewar statue in Glasgow. If the spectacles are replaced, they just get stolen again. I don't bother with satellite TV. I watch only BBC. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe
