Don't get me started on sound, not only do my parents always think
that there's something wrong with the colours on the TV, but there's
always something wrong with the sound aswell.  They don't like it
if they can hear anything in the trebbel range, so if you hear a pin
drop in a film, they think that something's wrong with the sound.
Not only that but they have it turned up so loud I can't watch any
programs with them, I have to go into another room and watch a TV
with a volume setting that doesn't make the light fitting rattle.

Maybe we should move to Off-Topic.
