TV Licence dodgers - absolutley fuming!

So i was doing my rounds today and i little chav came up to me in a burberry hat and told me he would tip me off a licence dodger if i gave him 2 quid and a tab - so after giving him his bribe he told me of a housewife who watches countdown with her windows open and she always shouts at the television.
So i goes and had a look, sure enough there she was sat in a chair i could just see the top of her hair curlers over the pile of ironing, so i knocked on her door and demanded to see her licence - she got down right hysterical! Told me she had one in her drawer somewhere and loads of lies, she said she would look for it and returned with a butter knife which still had butter on it, and she slammed the door in my face - no doubt i'll be reporting her.
End of rant.

I hope you offered her a £20 fixed penalty as an alternative to a full report and prosecution. That would be only reasonable!There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0

This is why you should always take hot crumpets on a job of this nature.
