Post by martin »

remember the resident one about the radio controlled sardine in portimao harbour to bolster tourism ...it would appear at 12 under the iron bridge..loads of people went to check it out

or the meteroite hitting the monchique mountains..best to cover the car in tin foil for protection from fallout

or when sat tv started you could pick up chanels using a dustbin lid lined with silver foil

sorry martin you are incorrect here it is true

in the first days of satellite that was our party peice using a dustbin lid to receive signals for a satellite reciever
if it was a plastic or rubber dustbin lid it would need metal foil as its only the electronics part on the end of the dish[lnb] that recieves the signal after it has been reflected from a metal object weve used the side of our vans also
