Using the method of forcing we construct a model for ZFC where CH does not hold and where there exists a connected compact topological space K of weight such that every operator on the Banach space of continuous functions on K is multiplication by a continuous function plus a weakly compact operator. In particular, the Banach space of continuous functions on K is indecomposable.
