I was just kidding about the "u" thing... I know there are differences in English/American spelling, but I'm glad people enjoyed the links. Incidentally, I've seen "banque" used on bank (cashiers) checks.
Thanks for the tuning number tutorial. Now I'm curious if the British ever used those UHF channels, and if so, were they little independent stations free of network (ITV or BBC) programing like in the US? The US business model of small-time UHF stations made for a lot of cool/fun programming back in the old days, and lately even in the modern era..
Witness our channel 38, which has taken over where our old channel 62 left off for low-budget movies, Rockford Files, Hawaii 5-0 reruns and technical difficulties. I love it! Its the way I remember UHF tv as a kid.
