Amusing Stories

A trip to IKEA Read the amusing letter sent to the manager of this store


Each month Martin Pickering as "Jack Armstrong" writes a monthly "Satellite Workshop" column for "Television Servicing" magazine.

We've compiled some of the original, unedited versions - that means they are longer and funnier than the published versions. They may contain errors or stories which have never appeared in print. They might also contain the odd note to the editor!
Originally, they were accessible from the list, below, but we decided to "scramble" those pages and sell the compilation.

It is simply too good to give away for free. You'll find it in the "Satellite" section. Click on "Books" at the top of this page.

You can subscribe to "Television" magazine (and the others) or buy them at a newsagent.
