- The report in the paper also mentions that two-thirds of those
- surveyed said they wouldn't give up TV for 10000 pounds (I'm not
- getting into the argument about how to write "pounds"!) and one-third
- wouldn't for 100000 pounds. Money may not be everything for these
- people, but it seems that TV is...

- up Radio 4 I might think rather more carefully...)
