The Cable Guy
Cable man came today. He spoke zero English and my few French words had nothing to do with the installation of cable TV. Now we have CNN and occasionally a few other English channels.
Editor’s Notes
I remember them trying to watch the Super Bowl (and many other live events from over in the U.S.) on that TV and cable system. They never seemed to know what they were going to get at any given time, and what did show up on TV was a surprise. I think they were actually only allowed one TV as well, you could not hook up additional TV’s at all (nor phones for that matter).
You can see from the photo above, not only was there only one TV allow, but it was also VERY small. What’s funny about the photo is the chairs and sofa still exist today. The caption on the photo reads:
