The irony being if they live on their own and don't have any TV
watching visitors, *no one* would know if it was colour or b/w?

there isn't these days. There were some in the past
Some that claimed to be, you mean. They were as fake as most BBC news.
They were operated by the GPO. They existed, I've been inside one. I've
