A TV in your room? Luxury. (have you ever heard Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen sketch?)

Aside from the one TV in our house, we didn't have two until I bought my own TV in the early 80's. We had enough money, we just didn't want or need one.

Once my dad got PO'd at my brother, I don't remember if it was over grades or watching tv during dinner or what, but my dad took out his knife and cut the power cord in half. We went without tv for ONE YEAR.

Not that it was a bad thing. Just don't PO my dad. :-)
