This thread is interesting in that many posts concern people's lack of funds, even though they appear to literate, and by association therefore not of the "underclass" - (trailer-trash to our US followers).
It goes to show the plight of hard-working decent folks in the present world economic crisis. I live in a very working-class town with a high ratio of benefit-claimants, yet they all have the ubiquitous dish attached to their homes.
These are very often the sort of people who watch the most appalling of TV rubbish, and I doubt if many of them will tune in to F1. How about we rent the telly off them for a nominal fee whenever there's a race on - they're probably still in bed at 2pm on Sundays, getting over their hangovers.
It's just such a waste of a good opportunity.
