This is my t.v

Growing up in the 70's as i did, we had one black and white t.v in the front room . There wasn't really any confrontation about someone wanting to watch something different to anyone else because there was only 3 channels to choose from, the only confrontation we had was when my dad came home from work in the evening and if the t.v wasn't on BBC1 for the news he would just change the channel over, it didn't matter if you had been watching something for the past 2 hours and there was only 30 seconds left he would just turn it over.Obviously we would complain, but he would come out with the same old line, 'when you're older and have a house of your own and pay all the bills, then you can watch whatever you want,untill then, this is my tele and i want to watch the news' end of story.I'm now 44 years old with my own house, paying all the bills and i still cant watch what i want, only now its the kids who are dictating to me when i can watch it.Even my dad came round one sunday afternoon, walked straight into the front room, looked at the t.v , made some comment about me not watching the grand prix, asked me to change the channel over so that he could watch it, and do you know what , i did !!
