Hi all,

I bought 3 PAL-Format VHS cassettes from Australian Public Service TV a awhile back (10 years?) to play for my Dad as it was one of his favorite comedies on our PBS stations, Mother & Son the mom who was beginning into dementia yet refused to accept it and her family - especially son, Jeffrey, (if I remember correctly) in dealing with this with humor. It was filmed in the 70s I believe, or 80s? but it's classic humor. If you've dealt with parents, as we have, it helps to see the humor in these situations. While they are not funny in themselves, it dies remind you to 'Keep it Light and keep your sense of humor!"

I also had to purchase a License/Certificate to allow a company here to transcribe the tapes to our US requirements. They returned the originals to us: DH has finally purchased a new 46" TV with all of the bells & whistles, and of course everything is DVD and beyond now, so I'm letting go the 100+ VHS tapes I have had since our first grandie came along 23 years ago, mostly Disney & that ilk, to our library.

But what to do with the 3 PAL tapes? Is there a Mother & Son fan out there who would like them for the cost of postage? I'm pretty sure they'll fit into the least expensive box, around $5 I think. (Does the Brit PAL operate on the same system as the Aus one? I don't know....)

Contact me off-list if you're interested <rkr4cds@att.net> - if I write back you'll know that you've got them, otherwise assume that they're gone.

THX!
