I have a sick child at home and so my mum very kindly picked up a few bits and pieces for me at the shops as I can’t go out. She got everything I needed and more, but realised she’d forgotten to pick up the Christmas TV Times which she thought would keep me distracted when DD isn’t up to much. She sent my dad back out to buy it for me, but he came back with the Radio Times instead.
He is adamant that RT is better and the true Christmas special. Mum is adamant that as no-one actually listens to the radio (and therefore we don’t need the radio listings) that the TV Times is the best.
I couldn’t care less, and am just very thankful for the shopping they brought me, but their bickering about which Christmas TV Schedule is best is now on day 2 and is cracking me up.
*disclaimer - they are also arguing about which one they normally buy with dad swearing blind that they get the RT every year and have done for decades, while mum swears (without actually swearing - she is far too proper for that!) that she hasn’t bought the RT for years! So who knows what the precedent actually is!
So - wise people of MN - which is it? Radio Times Christmas Special OR
TV Times Christmas Special??
