Don't you pay a licence fee then?
noooo:

YOU BASTARD. THE FIGHT I AM HAVING NOW!!!

No fight needed ~ If you have a TV set in the property, whether it works or not, you are obliged to buy a licence. If you do not have a TV ~ working or not ~ in the property, it is up to them to prove that you have.
BTW They can enter and search without a search warrant.

I want to know more about this enter and search stuff. Is there a plausible link that says Crapita ( who run the BBC Lience thing) can enter without a warrant and search your house. Serious question.!

Wireless and Telegraphy Act gives them that power. They will normally bring a policeman to arrest you if you try to stop them. I cannot be arsed to find a link but why not ring and ask them?
Remember I used to work for the Post Office before the job was passed over to Capita ~ that's how I know.

I'm going to me favourite shop Maplins now to purchase a set of solar panel powered chrissy lights for me porta cabin at Swamp 2.

No doubt the place will be heaving with digi shite and annoying digi customers.


Ooooooooooo! I buy stuff from them ~ mail order like ~ it arrives from all over the place so I suppose they simply farm the orders out to whichever shop has stock.

Kids are getting pressies bought from them.

Just got back. Bloody marvelous place it is.  cloud9:
Biggest selection of fantastic and probably useless tat under one roof ever.

It's a bit like those mags you get in the sunday papers, selling weird and wonderful shite that you have difficuly in believeing anyone would actually use or in fact haver a use for

The other thing, if it hasn't been mentioned, is that access to some Beeb channels via the 'net requires a TV licence  cool14:

He's a bugger to buy for, has a beard so no razor & doesn't wear insteadofshave. Last year I went onto aquarterof.com & bought him about 3kg of different old fashioned sweets, lasted all year! I thought I was ok this year as he has been dropping very heavy hints about getting a DAB radio in the sales after xmas.

It'll prolly be fine ~ it's those of us who live more than 50 miles from London that no bugger cares about.  cussing:
