Surrender.

[John Gill]

Today my pocket is lighter by the sum of £157.50
Yes, I purchased a television licence. Fed up by constant threats just short of humiliation in the village stocks to a term in e wing at HMP Strangeways, I can now experience sound sleep.
No more curtain twitching, listening for the sound of Jackboots on the path. The Watchfinder General is history at Chateau Gill.

A survey of 15,000 people on the TV licence for funding the BBC was over 90% against the current method of funding.

Hi Gilly
I too have surrendered to the rubbish purveyor of BBC, TV.

BUT i HAVE DONE IT WEEKLY. £3.93P A WEEK BY DIRECT DEBIT.

look on the bright side, If you should die next week you have paid for a whole year, and you have lost your money. that is equal to 10 litre bottles of whisky you could have had before you went.

BUT if you paid weekly your payments would stop when you snuffed it. and you have saved all that money and kept it out of the hands of the Bums they overpay,
It also costs them to keep checking all the time.
Cheers
Brian

Hi John.
If you get the rubbish on TV that we get in Aus, they should pay you to watch it. We get reruns of reruns, thank god for Videos, which again might be reruns but ones we can watch. Beats watching that Dickhead Portillo every night.

Got to agree with you there Des. So many wanna be's that seem to get the leg up to become celebrities for no reason. Latest one that seems to be forever on the box is that Annabel Crabb who did the switch from cooking to mundane political views that follow main stream political journalists.

[happy daze john in oz]

Yes here in Oz we should be paid to watch what they put on.
Her indoors asks every night, what's on TV tonight,
Well apart from the dust not much.

As to the idea of Brian to pay by the month, best way when you reach a certain age.
All my insurances are direct debit monthly, and on my credit card.
If by any chance I pop off all she has to do is say nothing to do with me, his card not mine.

[Ken Trehearne]

You all should move to NZ where there is no payment for TV, other than streaming Netflix and similar. Payment is made in suffering so many ads.

No TV licences here just awful programs. Particularly irritating are those "looking for love" programs. I often wonder if we came back in 10yrs if he would still have those amazing pecks and if she still had on all that makeup and fluro teeth!
Can you imagine waking up to that kind of disappointment LOL

My disappointment occurred in 10 Mark Alley. She'd been a Dusky Maiden night before.

10 Mark Alley????

it was 5 Mark Alley when I was a lad 65 years ago.
That is where the BBC got its inflationary ideas from.
