  Actually, come to think of it, looking at your

 "valve" where I'd write "tube", I'm curious - are CRTs called

 your side of the pond, or something else (CRV?)? 
 This has come up before--it's "tube" if I recall.  The same applies
 to terms suchl as TWT.
 The only difference is that some pronounce it "chube"

"all". No-one British that I've ever heard pronounces it "toob".
People would look at you funny if you did ;)
