    It is BBC policy that they should immediately identify themselves upon arrival, so in failing to do so, they are breaching their own policy.

    Its BBC policy to hire a disposable private company to do their dirty work so they can distance themself from it and deny knowlege of its methods.
    Clearly they have something to hide when they won't give their name and walk away rather than be filmed.

    If Capita fold then the BBC will simply take on another government contract type company like my old company G4S or possibly Circo.
    Hopefully they will be a bit tougher than Capita and dont run away when a scrote in a sink council estate points a mobile phone at them.
    Any tricks or cons that Capita employ to get the miscreants to pay up is OK by me. Anything go s .They have to fight fire with fire.
    When we get to 200,000 a year clogging up the magistrates every year then 2025 , when the TV licence fee is due to be ended, can t come soon enough.
    Don`t worry Rob, I m well off. Quarter of a mill in the bank ( absolutely true ! ) never had a mortgage,own a 3 bed detached bungalow in a nice area and location.
    i don`t need money or minimum wage now.

    Ahh. Never read through this thread before. What was it was about the often obnoxious posts made by the resident meter reader?
    Strange insinuations regarding people who refused "smart" meters etc. and that Everyone's Guilty.

    Often thought what a jumped up little .... but couldn't quite put my finger on it . . .

    It all fits now, just the sort of "security expert" TVL needed.
    Keep up the good work meter-man, you're special ;)
    The only thing which is obnoxious is your post and regarding your comment that i have suggested that any person who refuses a smart meter has any prior sinister motive-
    I have only ever said on here that energy thieves , those who are bypassing the meters , will automatically refuse the option of a smart meter. I hope you understand the difference.
    I myself have recently refused a smart meter for my own reasons regarding the make of meter being installed by my supplier Eon.
    Eon should not be using the worlds worst unreadable smart meter made in India costing £35 each. Its not suitable for domestic install because it is a business meter.
    Its supposed to be a friendly forum by the way
