TV Licence
I in the next week will be getting rid of all the TV's, Sky, video & DVD., in my household. Can I stop paying my TV licence? I will still have a Laptop but will not be watching TV on it. I am fed up with paying the BBC to broadcast the sporting crap that they are inflicking us to whilst removing other much better programs!
