No, this was on the TV.

A mate has never payed a TV licence in 30 odd years, he says he never gives his address when he buys a new set, he gives his parents address as they do pay and are on the list.

This all sounds fine but we have tv in front room of the house so all the tv man would have to do is look through the window and catch us watching tv

Do you know anyone who has ever seen one or worked in one.

i have seen it as i have always lived in and around council estates were money is short or none existant..

tv van wont go in areas were people can afford to wipe there arse on fivers as these people can and more often than not afford to pay the bills

lets bring this down to simple money and profit

this is an estimate of course but if every person in the uk paid for a tv license it comes to £9135000000

now how big does my £145 not being there seem? at the end of the day the bbc is a profit making business and instead of making a profit with advertising etc. they had a law passed to force everyone to pay for it, and even if i did watch live broadcasts i would still refuse to pay if for personal reasons that i wont get into right now, for someone to say they are subsidising me for not having a tv license is ridiculous, and as for detector vans, yes they exist BUT only about 10 vans in the whole country and most of them don't turn on the equipment inside the van because they don't know how it works and even then it works on theory,

if there are only 10 vans im sure enough people would have been trained to work the gubbings inside

We pay ours too, it's great value for money

I'm only here for about 18 weeks a year and I don't even watch the bluddy telly!
