He he he - I have a lot to thank the dodgy late 80s one-hit wonders, Breathe, for... I read an article on them in Smash Hits, where one of them stated "if you turn a TV upside down, it'll go green". I duly tried it (well, you would wouldn't you, at 13 y/o!) and they do. A b&w TV goes all squashed if you turn it upside down (like a widescreen effect), or fat if you turn it on its side...

Funny the things you remember!
