Doing Without Sky TV As A Child?

PS but don't want another Tory govt.

This remark reminds me of the old "let them eat cake" saying. Of course we now know that Marie Antoinette never actually said this. The quote was only attributed to her by historians decades after her death. However at the time people may have believed that she had done so. Endemic of a certaain attitude of those whose wealth and privilege removes them completely from the concerns of ordinary people.

When I was raising my children only the very rich and people on the dole could afford SkyTV. I never had it either and still don’t.

We have never been 'rich' but had Skype as soon as it became available - well we actually started with the other one with a squariel- forgotten what it was called - BSB possibly.

Not Skype - my autocorrect is having a field day today.

Here’s what we DIDNT have when I was a child
We didn’t have
A TV got one after I left home
A phone my first phone was when I was 30
A fridge when I was 20
A washing machine I was 21
A car never had one

Don’t feel poor though I had a nice home, warm bed, food in my belly and two parents

I do without sky tv as a single pensioner

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch. " when we was young ,we never had nothing, we lived in a cardboard box" " cardboard box? You was lucky, we lived in t'gutter"

I am absolutely no fan of Sunak but that admission was practically forced from him, he kept saying he wasn’t deprived but the interviewer kept on and on and I think that’s all he could think of

Still haven’t got Sky

I got our butler SKY television but I don't watch it myself, does that make me underprivileged?

I’ve got Sky and all the streaming programmes now, but they weren’t around when I was young.

I was fed, watered and well clothed - which was all most of my peer group were.

I can’t remember feeling materially deprived.🙄

Luxury! Sheer bloody luxury!

Always loved that sketch.

He should have been sent up the chimneys. I’m sure he would have been small enough!

Am I missing something, not having Sky TV?

Was Sky TV available when Sunak was a child?

My poor children 😂

Yes as I’m almost 50 and my friend had it as we used to watch the Simpsons

I have never watched The Simpsons.

Obviously I am deprived.
