What always strikes me is how defensive people with TVs are about those who don't - as I think I said up the thread, we never had one until one of DH's clients sent us one with some weird message about making us like everyone else or something,, as if not having a TV was some form of intellectual snobbery.
This man had never been to our house, and from what DH says, the only way he would have known we didn't have a TV would have been those conversations several people have mentioned on the thread where they ask you if you've seen something, you say no, haven't got a TV, and then they go on emoting about the programme anyway while feeling slightly irked. In his case, irked enough to buy and have a delivered a TV.
It's pretty weird. I could honestly not care less whether someone finds my pastimes odd or déclassé, or has issues with the way I arrange my furniture.
One thing I have noticed, though, is how much of a lot of regular watchers time TV seems to eat. I write novels along with a demanding full-time job, a small child, not quite enough childcare and a husband who travels a lot for work, and there's no way I'd be able to fit that all in if I watched TV for a couple of hours every night.
