Re: Vera
That’s why we don’t pay for any tv licence. Which is just another tax in any case. A continuous tax at that. On buying a tv you pay vat , and continue paying for the rest of its life, So you are continuously being brainwashed for the rest of yours . JS

Re: Vera
We watch it, or should I say she does while I sit and enjoy my glass of wine.
Saw an episode last night set in Whitby, knew it well as a young lad but do not recall seeing her there .


Happy daze John in Oz.
