You've been looking at that timetable for the last ten minutes. It can't be that confusing said Sheila angrily.

I do wish you'd be quiet! I've got a splitting headache thanks to you! replied Matt.

Mum! Dad! Please! said Alison. You're both being very silly. There is no point at all in blaming each other. That's not going to help us find out what time the next train to Budapest is due to leave.

I think so said Sheila. I mean it did leave at 18.20. Whether it's actually going to Budapest or not is another question.

Well one thing is not in doubt said Matt. What's that ? asked Sheila and Alison together. This is the worst holiday we've ever been on said Matt. Next year we're going to Agreed said Sheila and Alison.

Born in Scotland in 1888 and educated in Glassgow’ John Logie Baird earned a living as a razor-blade salesman. In the 1890s Guglielmo Marconi showed that sound could be sent by radio waves. Baird became convinced that a similar system could transmit a picture. He spent most of his spare time working on his ideas in his tiny workshop without any commercial support. He had to use his own earnings to continue his research. In 1924 ‘Baird successfully transmitted the general outline of a figure over more than three meters. He continued to experiment and on October 25 ‘1925  transmitted a recognizable image of a doll. He ran down to the office on the office on the ground floor and persuaded one of the boys to come upstairs.The boy became the first  living image transmitted by television. Overnight ‘Baird became famous and the money that he needed to continue his research was at last made one from London to New York. He continued experimenting and spent his last years exploring the possibility of color television.
