Television

Kobert Hansom taught at the local grammar school.One of the main targets for his sarcastic remarks and cynical attacks was
TV. Mrs Hansom wouldn't have minded having a set to watch some programmes
she had heard of or actually seen at her parents' home, but her husband was full of
indignation and scorn whenever she mentioned the tonic.The London Philharmonic
Orchestra had conme to ther town, a treat they hadn't missed for the last
ten years, and they had enjoyed it all the more, knowing that the famous orchestra
came but every second year to play there during the regional festival.Mrs Hansom was ot teribly disappointed about her husband's decision;
she was a quiet woman and didn't like arguments.She had to admit that
Working in the garden, going to friends' parties, occas1onally going to a concert or
a performance by the sch0ol dramatic society was more enterprising than pressing
the same button day after day.Mrs Hansom camee
into the sitting-room.
