antenna cable cold room
The room's state left much to be desired. i noticed the tv lacked an antenna cable, rendering it useless. even with the radiators on, the room remained quite cold. It was like a battle against the elements i was destined to lose. i wondered if i had accidentally booked a polar expedition instead of a hotel room.
