JamesM Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 When is your other half's next shopping trip? - could you put a word in for me and mention the word "TeleVue" JamesP.S On a serious note and as one man to another, be careful of this ploy of present buying - I have been caught out by this on sadly too many occasions. Maybe she made more than one purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freff Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 James it's taken until now to educate her to what Hubble is. She'll probably think Televue is another version of SkyTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freff Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 I gave my wife more credit than she deserved. Apparently she heard a chap in front of her in the checkout queue say he was was buying these books ( Hubble x4 in total) as prizes for his local Astronomy Society. Peering over his shoulder saw what he was buying and thought 'I'd better get one for hubby'.What can I say.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
