  • So what are you worried about?

    Stop moaning.


    This is a board for venting. What part of that do you not understand ?

    No one said the vents have to be based on reason.

    "I could play all day in my Green Cathedral".

    voiceofreason understands - he's just backtracking because he got it wrong before.

    I have had a TV license now for 2 months and i am still getting the letters saying i need to have one! I can not wait for them to turn up on my door step and say i have not got one and then i can show them that i do indeed have one!

    That happened to me once. The guy looked like a right fool when I showed him the licence. Even more so when he realised he'd come to the wrong address and should have been in the next block.

    That is a valid complaint. We've had problems dealing with them before.

    If they pestered me and I did have one, I wouldnt show them if they came to the door. Let them waste more of their own time and money.

    I agree. I would tell them in no uncertain terms that they aren't welcome on my premises and that I am withdrawing their implied right of access (i.e. meaning they would be trespassing if they came back on your land without a warrant).

    I got another letter today from them, I am not going to call them on the 0844 number and give them more money.

    i cant believe they give people leeway to get a licence, like if you miss the council tax by a week or two, they let you off. surely a fixed penalty charge by the day would sort this sort of thing out.
