I went to see a friend today, he has a tank of NEON tetras, must be cold cathode as they are in water. They are breeding, but not much of a harvest, it would take 50 or so for a good toasted sandwich.

What a wonderful crop of valves John but keep the insects away from the trees,
you don't want any bluebottles or beeswaxies.

Well children, early this morning I noticed Mr Squirrel and a couple of his mates were attempting to bury something under the Oak tree. After breakfast I thought it would be interesting to see what all the commotion was and after a little prodding, discovered something more in keeping from this grand little tree. Yes you may have guessed, a little acorn valve, a 9001!

What do you think of that boys and girls! What a happy end to our harvest festival story! A real acorn valve from 1941. Pretty little thing isn't it?
I do hope you enjoyed the story of Mr Oak and his incredible harvest.

Well sadly boys and girls it's time to close Childrens Television for today.
The Television Service will now close down and reopen at 6pm for the evening programmes, starting with the Television Newsreel.

Goodbye children, goodbye.

J.
