It's always strange to see "flat-screen TV" talked about as if it were some sort of luxury item and most people can only afford CRT TVs.

- dspillett 12y agoIt is often used (in the UK at least) in reference to people on benefits, by certain publications. The implication being that some of those benefits we've paid our taxes to provide have been wasted as they have a new item instead of making do with a cheap hand-me-down. No reference is made to if the subject being discussed owned the item before they were on unemployment (and related) benefit, and of course these days a hand-me-down is likely to be a flat screen unit anyway.
