    Just filled out the declaration that we don't need a TV licence for the second time this year. Their form is riddled with so many mistakes, it's like someone created it and thought "That's a mornings work. Done for the day..."
    Grammatically incorrect options to select from, For Example/Such As statements followed by blank lines, more threats that the max fine in Guernsey is £2000 despite my address being in Scotland, etc.
    Such scum, it's like you're guilty until proven innocent.
    Yes I agree they are like the grimy filth you get on the bath

    Imagine you are a single person and you go on a dating app, how do you tell the other person that you are a TVL goon when they ask what you do for a living.  Mind you if you see the goons on YouTube they do look like a bunch of incels.

    It can be quite cathartic to head over to Freecycle and ask if anyone has a shredder, then shred the letters from TVL.

    Also invest in a Ring doorbell, remember to never engage, never answer the door. 

    I leave them standing there looking awkward, then just as they start to turn around and do the walk of shame, I unmute and do a creepy deep laugh, one of them jumped out of his skin.

    Now they seem to U-Turn the moment they see the Ring Doorbell, I think it is the best deterrent ever, but still do no open door, do not engage, do not pass go and do not collect £200, but save whatever the price is these days.
