Dp won't allow us to have sky as it is "too council house" 😡

[Harboromummy]

We are moving into a new house, we need tv/internet ect. He's refusing to have sky because "the dish looks awful and it looks like a council house" 😡😡😡

He won't even discus the idea, because he also thinks I won't have time to watch tv, you know being a sahm to three!

😡😡😡👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[DowntonIsMyHome]

how ironic... I live in a council house and couldn't afford sky for the life of me.

in fact, I can't even afford Netflix et al

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

I get it.

[listsandbudgets]

I know a multi millionaire with Sky - I'll let them know they're bringing the side down

[TimeToMuskUp]

It's my new favourite word, we've just been to France, sat eating dinner one night and the DCs came out the loos together wearing those toilet seat covers as crowns on their heads. DH insists they're called assgaskets, I don't know if it's true but it's a fine word to use to insult someone I think!

[Heavens2Betsy]

Assgasket

[TimeToMuskUp]

Ours is on the back of the house, no idea why unless it's to do with signal. We don't live in a council property but I'd rather be in one than live with a snobby assgasket like the Op's DP.

[Bogeyface]

Well of course they do ifnot otherwise you are not doing the full scrounge!

[IfNotNowThenWhenever]

I spend all the money I save on my free house on betting on dog fights and Mad Dog 2020. Hardworking tax payers pay for my sky tv package

[Bogeyface]

Yeah those council house scumbags! I bet they get their Sky for free, along with their free house and free flat screen telly.

Arsehole.

[Heavens2Betsy]

*I never knew that council estate tenants would have sky. Would they have the money for it?
Really? I'm shocked
Do people seriously believe this??
Not all council house tenants are on benefits! Some of us actually work for a living and pay our own bills!

[exLtEveDallas]

Oh and we all have to have super-duper booster aerials (that are really ugly) or we have no service at all.

[exLtEveDallas]

I live in a lovely leafy village. We have a playing green in front of our house. All the houses on my side of the street are privately owned, the houses on the other side of the street are HA. None of the HA houses have sky dishes, almost all the privately owned houses do (including ours) most of them are attached to the chimney though. We pay £22 a month for the Entertainment Package plus Sports.

OPs DH is a tosser.

[Kai1977]

If it helps and it bothers him that much, you can ask them to put on the back of the house. The installers hate it, because it is a two man job but they won't say no because you can threaten to cancel (if it's a new contract). You can still see it, but at least it's not on the front. We could have had ours at the front but we insisted on the back!

[molyholy]

kimlo as do many families living in social housing. Unfortunately, it looks like lots some people have bought into the propoganda that people who live in social housing are benefit scroungers living the life of riley.

[molyholy]

I never knew that council estate tenants would have sky. Would they have the money for it?

Fucking hell. That's worse than what the OP's husband said.

[Heavens2Betsy]

Stuck up bastard.
I'd LTB - not for his objections to Sky but for his snobby attitude.

[kimlo]

I live in a council house and have money for sky. But then theres 2 adults working full time living here.

[derxa]

Our dish is hidden behind a parapet
Are you Sebastian Flyte, BetaDad ?

[gamerwidow]

Tbf now tv is much cheaper than sky and you get more or less the same channels.

[landrover]

OP not coming back? (another one!)

[whattodowiththepoo]

He wants to get nowtv and not sky but you have a problem with that?

[Beahun]

Griphook I meant it's not much money they get anyway, I doubt they want to spend it on sky!

[shrunkenhead]

How much is Sky per month? I think there's the assumption that most people who work don't have the time to surf through eleventy milliln channels! I know I dont but tv isn't big on our family's agenda anyway.

[Theoretician]

Does the house have a visible TV aerial? Because the modern small black Sky dish is considerably better-looking than that.
