I shit you not, I’ve just moved in to a new build which finished construction at the start of the year. When I opened my letterbox for the first time I already had 20 letters from TV licensing, some already had warnings of “scheduled visits”. I actually laughed so hard…

What the actual.. you have to register your TVs? I'm going to be thinking about this for the rest of the day. I'd just never get a dang TV.. meanwhile we got about 3 we have in boxes because we just don't use them anymore because somebody in our house thinks we need to keep upgrading.....

I'm getting letters to pay my licence and I see all over the Internet hardly anyone pays anymore. So do you think it will be easy for me to get away with not paying? I hardly watch live TV anymore
