Long Way Up

My Sky is over £1200/ year, although it is broadband as well. My netflix is only £120 though. I don’t do prime or Disney or apple tv - but you are so right. Nothing on to watch of any real substance.

 

Well sod em I ain't subscribing to anything just to watch em, enjoyed the other two trips but I am not ready for electric bikes, I like the smell and sounds of real bikes because I am an old duffer who likes to tinker with motors

 

We're not far off (No Apple or Disney TV, but 2 tv licences, £1100 for Sky and until recently Now TV for movies, oh and Spotify...)

but I tend to add in all the broadband/line rental and phones into a big scary entertainment and enabling comms bundle

Makes bike ownership look cheap

 

Remember the days in the UK when, for the price of a license fee (about sixty Bob), you got four channels of 'quality' TV including sport and foot fetishism. Now you pay a mortgage for low quality exudate pumped from corporate chocolate starfishes.......mostly aimed at making you buy summit.....plus the license fee. We've all been conned. Bin the telly and buy a bike.

 

We just pay for the TV licence but I'm thinking of ditching that cos we only switch the tv on four or five times a week these days. Wifey watches youtube and I obtain videos and films from other sources.

 

I think of Amazon Prime as being free. I when for it for the free delivery, so Prime Video is a bonus to me. Also recently purchased a new iPhone so I have Apple TV free for 12 months, so hopefully the Long Way up will air soon.

Also just renegotiated Sky for the next 18 mts at £43.50 per month for Sky Q, Netflix, movies. So happy with that as well.

 

Well i don't spend as much as that but i have cancelled all my sky last week as i figured it was way too much but the final straw was they wanted to charge £65 for an engineer to come because our phone line wasnt working. They claimed it wasnt the line and must be something in the house but i know it isnt and they said the only way to get it free was to upgrade my sky packages and then they wouldn't charge!!!
I was paying them £124 per month
Vodafone doing a deal of unlimited broadband, apple tv, now tv for £28 a month!
To top it off the phone is now working fine so happy days.

 

“Long way up” is now free to those with apple tv and I must admit I’m enjoying it so far... so what if they’re a bunch of tits and they’re on electric bikes... they were doing a pretty tough bit of electric ice breaking! So good on ‘em! I’m only about 3 episodes in and the mrs is happy to sit and watch. Charlie must be a bit of a tough old boot, his initial accident recovery and still being able to ride in negative temperature??? What a star!

 

My Trip rushed me 2k. I still winced. My current car can do 150 mph, has served me for 25k miles over the last two years and cost less than 700 quid.

But I'm just 'careful' with money, not tight. Just to make that clear.

Do I need to add I don't have sky?

 

No satellite, no cable, no internet 32" tv (won tv) in shop hooked to $60 blue ray. Free videos from public library. Gave up on tv about 15 years ago. Just smart phone that was free until last April. Grand total now $25 per month for phone. $60 smart phone.
