I have never
bought a TV license.
TV works fine without one.
Last time I was visited by an inspector blokey was about six years ago.
I pointed out that it is not an offence to not have a TV licence and he should go forth and multiply.
Went back indoors and discovered I'd missed an important bit of Eastenders.

It's only an offense
If you have a Telly.
Which is why keeping details of everyone who does not have a licence contavenes teh Data Protection Act.
The assumption being made is that if you do not have a licence you are commiting a criminal act, whereas there are perfectly legitamate reasons for not having a licence.



(And Yes, Coventry is a bit odd.)

I know
I just like to tell lies to the TV Licencing people.
(I never paid the Poll Tax either, I wrote to my local council and said that I Had no intention of ever keeping Polecats and didn't see why I should subsidise those who do. They left me alone after that))
