I, like many other people out there, have cut the cord. In the US, where I believe the phrase comes from, it means no longer having cable TV plumbed, (can you plumb a cable?) into your home. For me it is a little more complicated as I have fibre optic cable bringing the internet to my home and it is along this conduit I can consume TV through individual apps. My TV consumption is internet based not a signal transmitted from Waltham or Sutton Coldfield. I have access to countless programmes and films yet what do I do a lot of the time in the evening to relax? I sketch little portraits. I never said I was logical.
