National radio and public television over here just beg you for money, incessantly. If you want us to continue to afford fine shows like Downton Abbey, etc. I send a little coin their way from time to time.
Especially now they no longer say "And for those of you watching in black and white..."I find black and white makes snooker so much more fun.
It witchcraft is what it is, tiny wee demons in a box, they probably raid the Icebox at night when you go to bed I'll have no truck with it in my houseWhat's a TV and does it need that new fangled electrickery stuff?
Aw geez! It's going dead complicated now! What's this 'icebox' you tell of?!It witchcraft is what it is, tiny wee demons in a box, they probably raid the Icebox at night when you go to bed I'll have no truck with it in my house
Icebox? No, that requires reliance on outsiders to deliver the ice (and possibly manufacture it using aforementioned witchcraft). No, all you need is a Coolgardie safe, relying on the time tested principles of capillary action, convection and evaporation.Aw geez! It's going dead complicated now! What's this 'icebox' you tell of?!
It lasts 2 years, then the letters start again.I don't get letters or visits anymore since, around last Christmas, they finally found me home.
The flat was a bomb site, had new flooring fitted, the contents of 3 rooms in one, there was a kitchen sink in the hall, the tiler was working in the bathroom.
The tv inspectors knocked, made a funeral face " tv licensing here" like "so sorry you have been caught".
Well, I never have had a tv for years, so I showed them in no problems.
They hurriedly left after they tripped over the workman's tools, then the cat hissed at them.
Staring at an empty living room and at a room full of bikes they said "have you never had a tv then?"
No more threatening letters since!
Oh well they are welcome to come backIt lasts 2 years, then the letters start again.
I don't know if you are under the impression that disconnecting your aerial absolves you from the need for a licence, but it doesn't.I wouldn't assume anything. I can plug my TV Ariel any time I want. They can't get in without a warrant. Not really enforceable if people choose to watch and not pay.

It does. You are not required to pay if you have Now TV for instance. And my television does not work unless you plug in an aerial...I checked!I don't know if you are under the impression that disconnecting your aerial absolves you from the need for a licence, but it doesn't.
Yes, they are colour blind so that is reasonable!My neighbour tried the B&W excuse that as only the dog watched their TV he didn't need a colour licence.
