In the discussion thread: UK still has 13,000 black-and-white TVs [View all]

1. I believe it

I've been to the UK several times to visit my wife's relatives, recently to celebrate my wife's Grandfather's 100th birthday in Epping and Hatford Heath and I can't recall where the TVs were in their homes! In the US they tend to be the center of attention in your typical family room. In the UK they tend to be lost among the nick nacks at least in my wife's family's homes. The B&Ws are probably more in the older folks homes since I'm sure the younger generations are more connected.
