In those days I was using vhf and uhf radio for voice early data (packet radio) and even tv broadcasting and on one of my dual band handsets 144 MHz / 432 MHz full duplex conversations back in the days before hand held mobile phone but with 2 hours battery life lol who remembers the Tomorrow’s world programme .

That explains why the search function couldn't find a spotlight for you when I was testing it out a few weeks back
Good Spotlight! I loved my Symbian SE P1i phone, but then I found the Wildfire...

Thanks for doing the Spotlight @adamtemp64! I enjoyed reading it.
I echo @Martin-O2's question regarding Somerset. I've heard it's beautiful! I should add it to my to-visit list.
@Glory1 you mentioned JAG - do you mean the navy lawyer show (one of my old favourites) with Harm & Mac?

Yes, @Marjo I do mean the navy lawyer show with Harm and Mac. It's one of my favourites too. I have all 10 series and love it particularly because it combines the law and policing in a way, both favourites of mine.
