It occurred to me last night (as I was sat in front of Eastenders) - these people, of whom I know quite a few, who say they don't have a tv set. It's all very well but if you're skint it's an excellent source of information and entertainment. Of course I would go out dining and to the cinema and the theatre and the pub every night, but I can't afford it. So bar reading and painting and playing board games and phoning people up every night, watching the tv's ok of an evening. Some people are right snobby about not owning one, don't you find?

I wish I had got rid of my television because I could afford to go out wining and dining every night and was therefore superfluous junk in my living room. But, instead it was to make sure that I di read a book on occaision, took up guitar again, got the cards out, did some voluntary work, went for walks, yes, maybe even took up painting instead of sitting glued to the same cylce of tosh every night. Snobby? No. Santimonious? Well.....
