Auntie’s lost it

I’m not signed up to cable or satellite tv here, so only get the free to air channels BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel 4, but still have to pay the tv licence, around 115 quid a year which goes to the BBC.

I was thinking the other day how I hadn’t watched anything on BBC1, apart from the news, for months. Now I know why.
When the licence went up last time the BBC said it was to pay for its new digital service and it looks like they’re being very creative wasting our money.
Time to scrap the licence, make the BBC pay its own way and force them to make programmes people want to watch.

I’ve come to the conclusion too that the reason the adverts suck so bad is because they are arbitrary…you don’t need adds if every household with a TV has to pay a license fee.

Do you have to pay the fee if you’re TV is just set up to play DVDs?

From a man’s world, we go to a dog’s world. Progress?

Pet TV is just what we’re missing in the U.S. We have everything else - dog day care centers, obedience schools (prisons will come soon thereafter), social time to meet other dogs and people thereby developing the animal’s social skills, dog parks or dog hours at the park, dog cemeteries and, of course, dog’s inheritance - taxed quite heavily.

If you own a tv, the man wants his money. If there’s a mailing address and you haven’t paid for a licence, you’ll almost certainly being getting notices to buy one even if you don’t have a tv.
