I wonder if anyone else experienced the same confusion as I did last night?...... I began to think I was going a bit strange and hearing things.
It was about 5.45 p.m. and whilst sitting eating my jacket potato with lashings of butter, I was idly watching the tv for company. It had got to the break in the programme on ITV for adverts when suddenly I thought, those words and jingles seem strange with those pictures. I watched more closely, yes, they were definitely advertising the delights of a certain slimming breakfast cereal, but the picture was showing a cat eating a bowl of cat food and then the tin with the brand name on. (I`d better not advertise here, had I?). I continued to watch and all through the adverts the sound was different to the pictures!
Then it was back the last quarter of the programme I`d been watching, and the peoples mouths weren`t moving in time to the words they were speaking. Was it me, was it my eyesight??
As the programme finished and before the next adverts I heard - at least I thought I heard them say, showing the Anglia news desk, `and next the news from `Calendar`. Did I hear that right, I wondered.
The adverts did exactly the same as before totally different pictures to sound. Quite amusing at times!!
The local news started - on the screen were the words of Anglia News and the presenters in the studio, but the commentary speaking just didn`t belong. The voice was saying, "here I am standing on the docks at Grimsby", but the picture was showing a chap at a sports stadium.
Yes, I was watching Anglia pictures and hearing Yorkshire news. Was it my TV I wondered. So, I rang my mother, a few miles away, she put her tv on and got exactly the same! That was a relief, it wasn`t my set. I then decided to try something else - tried the other channels they were all ok. Then I switched it from the Analogue aerial to my Sky dish for the ITV..... and..... no problem! the sound and picture matched and were Anglia region. - switched back again to the other and the problem still went on.
Very odd.
