I don't have the 'watching' gene - I get no pleasure from watching other people doing what I am doing.
I watch masses of TV on my own - the present Mrs Hughes is a very selective viewer - but we do watch some programmes together, but in virtual silence - she doesn't need a running commentary from me, and vice versa.
The notable exception tends to be Match Of The Day, when Stoke City are featured, and Mrs Hughes's trenchant onions on team selection and refereeing decisions tend to be aired with some heat and volume!
