Quote:
It said figures from January to March 2010 showed people watched, on average, four hours and 18 minutes daily, up from three hours, 56 minutes in 2009.
Two-thirds of those hours were spent watching commercial channels, it said.
Commercial TV marketing body Thinkbox said the rise was partly down to cash-strapped Britons staying at home.

Good news for the TV companies. Who ever is in power next week we will probably have a decade of austerity and so will have to watch TV more, because we can't afford anything else.

I got a girlfriend and a family, moved into a new house... That means about 2-3 hours of TV a week... :lol:

Yes but I do not think that you would qualify as hard up and LIVING in the UK. ;)

My mate's missus alone would have seriously changed that average :oops:

Let me guess. Does she have an extensive knowledge of all the episodes of the Jeremy Kyle Show? :D

It wouldn't surprise me, not only is she a stoner, she's now off work on stress (legitimate).

We're also talking about a girl who'll sit and watch three hours of Come Dine With Me back to back. The narrator's funny, but he's not that funny...

She really winds me up with that sometimes; my mate will wanna play the PS3 and she moans, but expects him to sit through countless hours of rubbish TV. And it's not just when other people are over, it's even when it's just the two of them that he gets 'gurned at' :roll:

That is why separate TV's are a relationship saver. :D There will be no argument over what to watch.

I would have thought that no TV was better for a relationship.

Yes but you might have to talk to each other! And discover that you are not right for each other. :shock:
