shrinking (verbatim; today)

"I just thought I'd ring you while it was on my mind."
"OK"
"You know my 42" in the living room? It keeps shrinking."
"Err . . .?"
"You know, shrinking."
"Do you mean. . . err . . . the picture gets smaller?"
"Yes, that's it. Is it the aerial?"
"When you say smaller, do you mean it gets more narrow, with black up each
side?"
"Yes, that's it! It *is* the aerial then!"
"What channels does it happen on?"
"Oh, all of 'em."
"OK. . . does it happen on Sky?"
"Oh yes, well, we watch everything on Sky."
"Not going to be the aerial then."
"No?"
"How long has it been shrinking?"
"It started yesterday."
"Look, I'll tell you what, I'll call in next week when I go to see Doreen."
"Oh. Can't you come before then?"
"If you like, but diesel costs money you know."
"Oh all right. I'll see you next week then. Do you think it's the tube?"
