In those days you had to have a license if you owned a telly and if you bought one from an electrical retailer they took your name and address and sent it to Capita(or whoever). You could still refuse them entry BUT if you had just bought a telly that was grounds for issuing a search warrant(If you had any sense you moved the telly after the first visit.

    I won't be bothering with the declaration ever again, and now they have my name they may well send someone around...I don't give a toss, because I do not and will not ever need one, but I'm buggered if I'll be bothering to tell them that every year

    Chilli,
    you've just given me a brain wave about what to do with the empty wall space where my TV use to hang.
    I'm going to make a crime scene investigation wall flow chart with all those letters they have sent out over the past 3 years. 😎
    At the centre on the chart will be the main suspect in this crime, a picture of the ''BBC Director General'' Then flowing out from the centre in all directions linking one to another will be the various harassment letters, along with house visits and fine rates. top left will be red letters radiating around with bits of string to brown, white and off-colour envelopes.
    Also highlighted in bright colour bubble format will be dates sent, date of visit and how many threatening words use in each letter.
    Finally at the bottom of the crime flow wall chart resting on the shelf for the discarded TV remote will be my wine cooler which once sat on top of all these letters, so now the bottle of wine is even closer to my pouring arm.🍷
    Oh no, I just had a thought, those goons who turned up in my dream 6 days ago which I locked down in my bunker are still down there, Hope they haven't drunk all my wine. 😱

    The thing that makes me laugh the most is that whatever method you use to watch a TV programme is going to be the same whether you watch it live or you watch it on catch-up. Absolutely no need for a licence at all. Most people don't watch TV live any more anyway. The only difference being watching it live or watching it by catch-up except you'd be getting the content in the exact same way.
    The TV Licence is not worth the paper it's printed on any more. Even more so because such a large amount of the licence fee goes to paying for all the idiotic, intimidating letters they send out to everyone. This needs to stop now.
