I am begining to think that a TV is a waste of money,
When a group of us inc 2 pensioners and a child holidayed in Portugal. the villa we stayed in did not have a tv. but we spent great family sessions during theevening playing cards, games etc.
I think it would be cheaper to do that. there was also a book shelf & visitors were encouraged to leave their book ( if it had been read) & swap it for one in the villa.
people would leave comments & it was interesting to see where people came from & how many times some books were read & bought back again
