What? Was the screen facing out to the street? Like a cinema..

i can never understand how anyone can consider a television the focal point of a room! especially when there's a huge picture window! or is scarlet correct and it was facing out towards the street??? xoxox
Yeah, Kev, be specific. What do you mean? I have an enormous picture window in my bedroom, which is completely blocked with a gloomsome old Edwardian dressing table and mirror. It is helpful, although depressing, to see ones face in full light when caking on the maquillage, you see.
Maybe it was to block out the view and noise of the buses going past.
Perhaps the family had a webcab trained on the street outside and the tv showed them exactly what they would have seen if it hadn't been obscuring the view, 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Now that's progress.
I suspect Gadjo's hit the nail on the head.
Mrs. P.: When I was a kid I used to think that people had those big Edwardian dressing mirrors because they couldn't afford proper curtains and had to get their privacy some way. I was never any good at domestic economics.
Kev,[sob] you have deserted me [sob]... why???? What did I do wrong??? [sob].....

things are only real if we see them on the screen, eh, sugar? ;) xoxo
