But I might be wrong.
But standing on your doorstep phoning the police while these people rant at you might just may the TVL boys think again.
And once you have withdrawn their right of access that solves the problem.0 -

I prefer the complaints route, or a different legal strategy, as they have the same effect, but without the blanket non-cooperation of WOIRA.0 -

You know the BBC and BBC TV Licensing are the same so why try suggesting they're not?
