To be honest TV never had and doesn’t has any influence on me. At the early stage of
tv here in Germany ( the time when I was young ) those tv productions you mentioned
were produced in the USA or UK but not in Germany.
Those productions we got to to watch ere Fury and Lassie and as aspecial entertainment L & H in the early evenings.

So when I was old enough to decide for myself cheap Hollywood productions came on screen and were not up to my taste cos they were nothing else than time wasting
offer of the industry. Sorry

I doubt that TV influences anyone really. If you have violent or other criminal tendencies, it may give you a few ideas, but on the whole no effect at all.

You are never too old until YOU think you are. Obviously you don’t, so you aren’t. Simple really.
And, incidentally, well done. I don’t think I’d relish a night in a tent much these days.

Hi Carol, my family are big festival goers………..my grandson plays at some of them in bands………..most festivals are very family orientated, young and older, I am told the atmosphere is fantastic………….don’t think much sleeping gets done at them……….now if I had a campervan I would attend some, ……but a tent, not a prayer…..lol……..never done tenting, not starting now……..good on you for giving it a go…..

A good rule of thumb in situations like that:- “Engage brain before gob”
