    TV Wall Mount decorating

    Hi Guys, Random question.. Do you think a wall mounted TV looks bad against a wallpapered wall? Our feature wall is where the TV is and we are about to re deocrate and I can't make up my mind what would look best. I'd prefer wallpaper. Thanks

    Tv license.......Shambles

    "so presumably you only watch rubbish" Thats a bit of a sweeping statement. I just found it funny that you don't believe there is anyone who doesn't watch BBC. Everyone has different tastes on what they like to watch. I'd rather save £145 a year and watch my "rubbish television" however, my...
