BBC News site today runs the following excuses offered by people caught without a TV Licence...
"Apparently my dog, which is a corgi, was related to the Queen's dog so I didn't think I needed a TV licence"
"Why would I need a TV licence for a TV I stole? Nobody knows I've got it"
"Only my three-year-old son watches the TV. Can you take it out of the family allowance I receive for him? He watches it so he should pay"
"I had not paid as I received a lethal injection"
"I don't want to pay for a licence for a full year. Knowing my luck I'll be dead in six months and won't get value for money"
"I have lost weight recently and had to buy new clothes. That's why I could not afford to buy a TV licence"
Imaginative, some of them!

Does the queen not have to have a TV licence then? Jammy thing! What about the rest of them? Old Philip will be convalescing at home, won't he be watching Wimbledon, Corrie or Eastenders?

My neighbour said she doesn't pay because they never watch BBC

I hope nobody grasses on her - what she watches is completely irrelevent! You operate a receiving station - you pay. Anyway - what the hell does she watch?

It's included in the local tax here in France - you have to opt out of paying and not opt in!

When we first came to France most Saturday evenings there was a singer featured. His dress,songs and backing girls seemed very 70s. It was Clo-clo (Claude François) He'd been dead for YEARS. PS : Apparently he killed himself changing a light bulb whilst standing in his bath dripping wet!! |

Do you get Le plus grand cabaret du monde? I saw a couple of those, and they knocked anything in the
'Light Entertainment' sphere in this country into a very cocked hat. On France2, présenté par Patrick Sébastien.
