I am quite happy with my 4:3 analogue CRT Toshiba at the moment, but it will be made useless in 2012 when we switch to digital full-time. Then I will have no choice but to change to a perilous plastic picture frame which I really DON'T want to do. 
When is it all going to end with differing definitions of picture quality? SD, HD, 3D? The whole damned thing drives you mad! I certainly don't want 3D thank you very much, I wear glasses to watch TV and for driving at the moment and why should I wear them just to get a 3D effect?

Are they selling Digital Converter Boxes over in the UK yet? If so, you could just attach that to your CRT TV, and it will work after the end of 2012.
I know in the U.S., cable providers are required to broadcast in digital until at least early 2012. One can only hope that they won't make the switch anytime soon. There are still many people that receive "analog" cable in the U.S. since our digital transition.
The bottom line is, progress is relative. If it works for one person, it may not work for the other. The DTV Transition is a perfect example of this.
