Apparently 13,000 households still only have a B&W TV

Yeah right.
If you can get hold of a working time-machine, then yes.
Can you buy CRT TV's any more?
Loads around used!
My cousin is blind but likes to listen to the TV programmes. Has a colour TV but only pays for a B&W license. Pretty common apparently.
Did wonder how many of those 13,000 B+W TVs actually have a SCART socket to plug in the Sky/Freeview box, given that analogue has gone.
Or how many of those 13,000 B+W TVs... erm aren't 😉
I wish B&W did make TV's, but alas they only make speakers
Or how many of those 13,000 B+W TVs... erm aren't
[url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20974737 ]That article[/url] (the link doesn't work for me though) is using fact A to tell story B. As mentioned above the licenses will be held by blind people, not by people with black and white TVs. The number of B&W licenses - the fact - has nothing to do with the number of B&W tellies owned or in use - the story. The story is about people who own and collect old TVs, non of the people interviewed use those B&W as their principle set for viewing - they will all have a regular colour license.
