Grew up with Sky, my parents had it since the early 90’s FFS! Didn’t have it for years as a student, then got it back in 2009 cos I wanted to watch the Ashes (and could afford it at the time)… Watching England destroy the Aussies in their own back yard was priceless, but very soon after that, the shine wore off. Binned it off soon after, and haven’t paid for Sky since, and haven’t missed it to be honest!
Did try BT TV about 2 years ago, but binned that off recently too (it was terrible! OK it was cheap, but really not worth it)… Freeview is more than enough, GF pays for Netflix subscription which we use occasionally too, but honestly I wouldn’t even miss that either if we didn’t have it.
There’s a life outside of these 4 walls, and it’s marvellous don’t you know!
