TV Licensing

Dear TV Licensing


I thankyou with all the sincerity of Tony Blair's smile for coming
around our humble abode and constantly ringing our intercom
to get access to our property to ask us some questions.

I do not know what questions you wanted to ask but rest
assured you found out my answers in 2minutes of this harrassment.

I will also like to thank you for the democracy you showed whilst
shouting on the intercom to my Girlfriend even Pol Pot would of
been proud of you.

And also the threating behaviour to me even after telling you
my Girlfriend is about 1 week away from giving birth, The tactics
of ( I shall get the police ) made me laugh until I ventured down
stairs and saw your grotesque features that would even scare John Merrick.


And a big Thanks goes to the TV Licensing officers in Bristol for
showing me what a result of inbreeding can lead to, I would
also like to Thank You for sending out my new TV License in
the wrong name time and time again.

    Don't start me off on TV licencing!

    It is actually a breach of your human rights to be charged it just to listen to a radio or watch TV. No other country has it in the world. Even if you say no other country has as high a standard of TV as us it's still the principle of it and sending round the heavies just because some people can't afford it.

    The only way they get away with it is because they have from the start and we've all grown up with it and got used to it.

    Imagine if TV licencing had never existed and Sky suddenly introduced it and said right, from now on we're going to make it compulsory to have to pay £120 a year to watch any TV and listen to any radio. How would we all take it I wonder?

    I totally agree I mean I asked what the license was for and the
    girl on the ohone said "you have to have a licence to watch TV"
    and I said yes I know that but what does the money go towards (what am I paying for).

    She said to watch TV because if you buy a TV,VCR,DVD Player
    you have to have a licence, I said a bit like a fishing licence then,
    and she said yes thats correct :rotfl:

    Where on earth do they get these muppets from :confused:

    And the conversation went on and she admitted that it was a stealth Tax.
  • and everyone has the impression that TV Licensing Officers are kind and friendly. Yeah Right! Too right Mr Skint. They are all a binch of muppets.

    A student has to pay a whole year's TV License and there are no discounts or anything even though you are a student. Daylight robbery comes to mind.

    They are the "!!!!!! Turpin" of modern day times :mad:

    If they read this "ITS A TAX" that serves no purpose whatsoever.

    Absolutely Mr Skint! Not to mention we don''t get to say anything about how 'OUR' money is spent. :mad:

    I don't want to watch re-runs of some of the stuff they shaow on TV. Better yet why don't they give us a free decoder so that we can watch 'Freeview?' I mean we are paying for it. :mad:
  • I know you have to pay to watch your own TV that will probably
    cost an arm and a leg to watch absolute drivel, so that Fatty brown
    can line his ever increasing pockets, plus adding to that my Dad told
    me that Browns Inlaws live 5 doors away from him. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
