Question for you denizens of the UK. Do any of you bother with a tv licencse? In my flat there are five of us, two tvs and not a license between us. All was well, until we got a letter today from the tv people saying we have not responded to multiple contacts from them and we are high on their list of priorities to come round and bust us if they find we have a tv that is not paid for.... Can they really take you to court and fine you a grand? Do they send that nonsense to everyone or should we be nervous? In case any of you are curious at all, here is where i live (in case it makes a differnce). We live on the top floor above a bank - can the tv nazis just bust in and check if there is a tv or not? Its a pretty solid bank door - can we barricade them out? Anyone know about this kind of stuff? |

The License isn't rreally to own a TV, it's to pay forr BBC 1 and BBC 2, as upsetting as it is knowing that shows like 'My Family' is wherre yourr money is being spent, you must pay it. |

nobody likes a pedant but the scary letter we got today says blind people get a 50% concession- which would be £60.50 |
||||||||
|

Rreally though it's not a lot of money. |
||||||||

No wont kill me but most of my flatmates are starving artist types who can live for about 3 months on £25. Hence the suggestion we get rid of TV rather than buy license. |
||||||||

send them a chque back for £60.50 with it written out and signed all badly written and in the wrong places |

I know i just object to paying more money for crap services we get in this coutnry. TIme to go back to japan where sales tax is 5%, income tax is 9%, nobody ever pays their TV license fee and everthing works like it is supposed to. Except the country is bancrupt. |

back when i lived in london wich wasn't that long ago i remember reading the back of my receipt thingy or whatever it was and laughing at the (at the time) really naff reduction for the blind, who apparently must listen to a lot of radio. it was NEVER 60 quid. |
||||||||

|
|
I pay £10 a month by direct debit |
||||||||
|
|

Honest guv it says on the back of my bill: "If you are registered blind you will qualify for a 50% concession on your TV license". Although this is fuck all help if you ARE blind as you wouldnt be able to read it so would have no clue you could get a discount. And if you shared your flat with a non blind person you probably wouldnt get the discount anyway. Wankers. |

I don't pay my tv license... I live in a dorm so I can watch tv "for free / legally" out in the dorm, if I want to. But I do have a tv in my own room aswell. I'd love to be a starving artist, I mean to be an artist that can atleast try (even if I don't succeed) to make a living on doing things I like. that'd be an adventure atleast. Also, of course, I'd love to go to Tokyo, but that's not really the issue here... In Sweden you also have to pay the TV-License (it's a tv/radio-license in one), for having a tv, and the money is used for 1) paying for the state (non-commercial) tv 2) funding the TV/Radio Service (the organisation you pay money to) --- and perhaps something else. |
