The test card had lots of straight lines, different shades and curves, so when the repair man cme he could adjust the set to get the clearest picture. Huh.
The first telly we had after we got married in 1975 was a 2nd-hand b&w model. While it warmed up the picture kept flicking upwards, then you could watch for about 20mins before the picture started flicking downwards...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

What about the test card ? Think it was some girl cuddling a toy
but I don't know the purpose of the test card.

Thanks Lesley
The man didn't come to our house my Dad just thumped it 
and at Grandma's they turned it off and shut the doors on the cabinet 
Panda what would your G/daughter think about having to sit for 5 mins waiting for the tele' to warm up to view Watch with Mother
Finally finished mulching one of my borders ..... One more to go, but we have run out of muck
.
That was a fair few wheelbarrows full
And I have finally got my cosmos seeds going too. Time for a cuppa (and possibly a snooze
)

We do good food in Norfolk Pdoc

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Chicky time for a cuppa

Pleased you had a good break Pdoc.
Off now to hold down a sofa, enjoy your evening everyone, and no thumping the television if the signal is poor
