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!

😡😡😡👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[Jade1212]

Sounds like a bellend. A snobby, bossy bellend.

[Orda1]

He's right.

[littleleftie]

"won't allow?" Who made him the boss of you?

What a wankbadger.

[Sn0tnose]

What a nasty little snob!

[PinkSparklyPussyCat]

Just do it! We've just gone back to Sky after having the overpriced crap that is Virgin Media and God help DH if he'd tried to stop me!

[Pernicious]

Not sure I understand why it's a problem how the dish looks- surely you're watching the TV, not looking at the dish!

[BeetrootBetty]

Is it not a little infra-dig to worry about such things?

Put it in a pole or on the back.

[witsender]

£60 a month?! Fuck me.

[ReallyTired]

There are discrete satelite dishes if your dh objects to having a dish on the house. A sqish could be fitted and I bet you dh would never notice.

[Lucylongcat]

Council estate here. We all have cable. Oh, and a choice of two Outstanding secondaries within ten minutes drive, an organic butcher and a couple of tapas bars. It's very naice round here, actually.

[peaceoftheaction]

does he think that people who live in council houses are lesser human beings ugh awful. How offensive.

[drspouse]

We live in a conservation area and have Sky. No cable here.

[NeedACleverNN]

Hah I thought sky was a posh luxury now as it was so expensive

[RockUnit]

I don't think the dishes are particularly attractive, but would have one if I really wanted to watch Sky.

It has nothing to do with council houses though

[Idefix]

Being uber snobby dp not you op, could you try to resell the concept at chic and European? Everyone has a dish here

[lamiashiro]

Ridiculous. We have Sky, as does everyone on the street and it's a conservation area. The dishes are all on the sides of the houses because that's the direction they need to be pointed so hardly obtrusive.

He is a twat for labelling Sky dishes as council.

[Minisoksmakehardwork]

Dh isn't a fan of the dishes on the front of the house, so ours is mounted on a pole at the back. But this actually made it easier for us as the rooms we wanted sky in are both at the back of the house and it saved issues with running cables through.

[Ohb0llocks]

He sounds like an utter knob.

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Congratulations, you live with a total fuckwit.

Is there anything else we can help you with?

[Ackvavit]

What? I live in a conservation area that is really strict about the type of window frames you can have, door styles, etc. So no golden oak or white plastic etc. We are allowed sky dishes in the garden at the rear of our properties but not at the front. What are his real,reasons?

[StrictlyMumDancing]

I'd totally LTB. Or kill him with fire. Though it would depend how bad a mood I was in for the second one!

[NeedACleverNN]

Our bill is £78 this month

[Capricorn76]

£78 a month to watch telly?? (£936 a year!!) Bleeding 'ell! I remember when my parents had sky and we spent half our time scrolling through channels when football wasn't on.
