Mrs decided not to pay for it anymore but it doesn’t bother me.

I think it’s an institution worth supporting.

Well if this helps when I moved to Jockland I had to do it quick and maxed everything out but couldn’t sell my house back home quick enough so rented it out for a while. I kept paying my license for the the old house but not for the new house.

I thought well I’m only paying once so who cares what the address is. Let them come and get me. Bunch of fascists anyway. So they started sending me the threatening letters, I sat here all smug thinking can’t wait til they get me in court and I’ll say well I’ve been paying all along so up yours, change the address and leave me alone.

I thought I’d just sit tight and let them send their letters. Eventually they stopped, sold the old house ages ago. Lost loads of money coz of Kwarteng and Truss and even more rich fascists so I couldn’t care less. So I would say eventually they give up. Aholes.

The big question is, is it worth paying for Kin? Coz that’s the only decent thing they’ve put out in the last 30 years.

Not a BBC programme and it has been free to watch on RTE Players for ages.
 
I stopped paying it a few years ago because I found that I could survive without watching live broadcast TV, there's tons you can watch without needing a licence. I moved house the year before last and get a threatening letter "to the legal occupier" every month which I dutifully put in the recycling. If one of their goons comes to your house, just say "No thanks pal" and shut the door. They have no legal standing and, unless you speak to them and admit you watch live broadcast programmes they have no evidence. The people who get taken to court have given them the evidence by not being able to keep their gobs shut.

The TV tax is outrageous. To pay the inflated wages of absolute wasters.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I pay it again*

*- live overseas for the time being, but on my return I'll be adopting the same position. Well until they knock on my door and I cack myself then fold like a cheap suit

It's when you purchase a new TV who ever you purchase it off they are duty bound to let the BBC know - My daughter's boyfriend just used a TV for games purchased a new larger screen one - pestered him for a TV licence - he told them to take him to court over a 6-month period they never bothered him after that ....
 
…I just have a standing order, no idea how much it is or when it gets paid but it’s sorted. I’ve also been paying a ridiculous amount to Sky for so long, they say I’m a VIP customer but I don’t know what difference that makes.

I remember when some mates used to have a cheaper licence for black and white TV in the days you could have either, I’ve also seen people being prosecuted after the detector van caught them watching in a house without a licence.

Ah the old British "pay for permission to..." packaged more discretely as a licence. How we are controlled. Our Norman overlords started it.

and we rip off all your best shows... like the "dancing" ones, the "talent" show ones... the sporting events that massively favour media darlings and dodgy money laundering vessels...
