I got a 1500 fine last year. I wonder what's in store this year? Best sharpen my toothbrush and take up smoking rollies. I won't pay the fine either. My TV is just the government mouthpiece. Actually makes 1984 look like light entertainment.

The former sounds like your tv was stashed with 2 k of the white stuff!

You are under no obligation to let them into your house nor any obligation to speak to them when they visit. You can say, 'no thank you' and close the door and they have to leave.

Having any device with a picture is enough. We have to pay Ryan Tubridy's wages. As I say, don't particularly care, as I won't pay anyway.

The biggest thing I notice is the death of comedy. Thank God for Youtube, I can get my fix from the 80s and 90s there. I think John Cleese said that the BBC does not make comedy programs anymore. And it does appear that the celebrated British sense of humour is in decline, something I never thought possible. Something to do with censorship? No point watching old programmes if they have been edited so not to offend.

I recall reading somewhere & not sure how actually true it is that those TV detector vans are basically a front & they probably have all your relevant information anyway?

Is there anything like TV licensing over in the states?

But there really don't seem to be any comics anyway - Morecambe and Wise Tommy Cooper Mike Yarwood Benny Hill I could go on and on - but I really can't see anybody at all at present remotely funny. It must be due to brexit.
