When You Sit Down To Watch Television

Say, you are watching a good film…maybe a thriller or just a tv programme.

Do you snack on anything while watching the TV?

I must say I do…usually I sit with a sandwich and a nice latte.while watching The Rings Of Power series,:grinning:

Depends on what I’m watching, time of day and how hungry I am.

If it’s a long film, we will usually have a drink and snack on standby which we will have ready when we have to pause the programme when nature calls. We used to have the bad habit of having a bag of chocolates ready for our intermission, but managed to wean ourselves off that.

when is there anything worth watchng on TV ? film repeats so many times seen you could even write the script. Rolling news reports on the same subject day in day out. Entertainment now mainly comedians telling filthy jokes and documentries covered by every other person doing the same thing.
The big joke is we are paying for a TV licence.
So now most evenings I go onto Tic Toc and watch what is happening in the real world

A couple of liberty caps washed down with a good swig of absinthe does the job for me.

If I settle down in the evening to watch TV, I often have a drink, maybe a glass of Prosecco, wine or a cocktail.
Depending on when I last ate, I sometimes have a savoury snack too - maybe a bowl of crisps or nuts - or my favourite snack of a few mini breadsticks / crudités of celery and carrot with a red pepper hummus dip.

I rarely snack while watching TV, chiefly because I normally settle down to watch a film or the next episode I’m following, while I’m having my dinner. Once I’ve finished dinner, I’ll probably get a glass of water to sip for the duration of whatever I’m watching.

Well I guess it depends on what subscriptions you have. We have Netflix and Amazon Prime, and when I take into account the free streaming services from the BBC and ITV, I honestly feel spoilt for choice. There is just so much to choose from. I can’t remember the last time I complained that there’s nothing worth watching on TV, neither do I ever hear any of my family or friends complaining about this either. It seems like a bit of a blast from the past, to be honest.

We have our main meal at teatime so I have the telly on while I’m doing the cooking, eating and washing up. If I take my sandwich in to the lounge at lunchtime and relax on the sofa, I’ll always fall asleep afterwards. I never drink alcohol except a single glass of red with Sunday lunch, it makes me go funny, but Mrs Fox does the preparing and washing up on a Sunday so it doesn’t matter.

We don’t pay any subscriptions Sheba, just the licence. We don’t have a smart telly either so it’s just freeview. I can usually find something to watch…

Same here, teatime being 6pm with a glass of red.

Movies, later in bed, a sip of water from a bottle, no snacks.

I always try hard not to have a snack but when I fail, I’ll have a biscuit (or two at the extreme :blush:). No alcohol after 5 pm. Used to be very different when I was younger.
