A couple of months ago one of the goons turned up, identified himself, i pointed to my two external cameras pointing at the front door, informed him he was on the Ring doorbell camera and also the internal hallway camera that is aimed at the front door from the inside, he very quickly lost interest in selling a TV licence
Crapita need to have a serious word with the inspector who wouldn't answer the question, "Who are you"? He really is a goon. Thanks for sharing these, CJ.
True , the BBC guide is they must show identity card and if the customer request they are issued cards to give with a phone number to call for verification ,
I got a letter from them last week saying we have started a investigation because I have not contacted them and the letter went straight in the recycling bin 👍
Disagree with your take on the last one, you always follow someone on your property to make sure they leave the property, the owner couldn't see the goon leave from his front door.
Interesting I am giving serious thought to canceling . A total waste of money I don't watch BBC . But I do need every penny to pay for my heating and electric bill. MPs don't realize how hard it is now to make ends meet. They are an absolute disgrace. Just like the BBC.
Mark, if you're not watching bbc, live tv, just cancel asap, don't hold it off any longer. That £159 sure will help especially in the next few months with everything else rising in cost (food, fuel, energy, n.i contributions, etc) and even more money being squeezed out of us.
@@CommietubeCensorshipSquad Thank you so many people now need every penny . Like you say . Like you say they are squeezing everything out of us that they can. Thank you.
Its quite reasonable to follow someone off your property and make sure they close any gate... It wasn't pursuit, it was just confirming they left and secured the gate...
Dave - You are right. They should definitely be followed - to their car if poss., and Reg. No. noted and checked with DVLA to ensure it's taxed and MOT'd. Also to pass to the Police if it turns out they're not goons, but scammers or robbers!
@@topcat1358 one extreme to the other... I'm just suggesting you check they leave your property and close and gate... No Police will be interested and you could be considered the assailant if you do pursue and harass them beyond your property boundary, especially if they are withdrawing.
@@daveofyorkshire301 If they have failed to ID themselves, they are a complete, suspicious stranger at your door - real motive unknown. I'm not suggesting pursuit or harassment. Just film and follow - to their car to obtain Reg No. which could assist police in their search for possible crook and scammer. The next door the stranger could be an old woman living alone who lets them in and is burgled, assaulted or worse. You are performing a Neighbourhood Watch duty! Think about others, not just yourself.
@@daveofyorkshire301 As ex job, he won't. If anything, Constabularies around the country rely on public assistance. Something of which is in short supply unfortunately. So you'll find you are incorrect in your assumptions.
Filming them seems to make them scuttle off a lot easier. They're cowardly creeps and should be exposed as such as much as possible to spread the word not be afraid of them. I've only been a home owner living independently for 2 months and have already had 2 letters so far. No visit yet but if I do get one, the camera will be ready. 100%
If you want to avoid the hassle just phone them up and tell them to leave you alone and that you don't need one. I did that a few years ago and have not heard anything since.
I never film them I just tell them to fuck off and don't give them any details, sometimes they then phone the police to come and help their scam along, then the police also get the same treatment. This results in both TV licencing and the police walking away with their tail between their legs with perhaps an empty threat of returning another day. It can be rather entertaining at times, downright frustrating at others lol the police will often lie and tell you that they have a warrant to enter signed by a judge then present you a piece of paper with a digital signature on it 🤣 it's amusing how far theyle go sometimes. If that's how warrants work I should start printing my own at will lol
You should tell people that it is not that they don't want their faces filmed.....they cannot lie if they are being filmed. In many cases, in the past, they would fit up people who they judged to be 'weak' and did not have any means of recording the incident. The goons would fill in the Form and sign it with a scribble, when the poor young girl (usually) answered them and interacted....several months later the person they have fitted up would simply not remember whether they were interviewed under caution when it comes to court and their court appointed crook would advise them to admit everything and fall upon the lenience of the court....cheaper option. So filming them stops them from fitting you up.
@@derektaylor5447 I wonder if they release the ages of those they prosecute? Women live longer on average so that might be part of why they make up so many, just being targeted due to their age.
Chilli - I think you're wrong. These goons should be filmed and followed. The car they retreat to should also be filmed, and Reg. No. obtained. This should be done to ensure they are not just pretending to be TV Goons. They could be robbers trying to get into your house by false pretence. Their car no. should be checked with DVLA to ensure it is taxed and MOT'd!
Idk about that. Some of them merely follow them to the property boundary and seem to be more of making sure that people who shouldn't be there have left. Simply property security.
In the last one, he followed him down the garden, to make sure he left, didn't cause any damage, and didn't look into windows. I think the occupier was sensible to do that.
I'd be really interested in seeing an interview with an ex-goon. I think many of your viewers, including me, wonder how anyone can do this job in good conscience. I assume that they have a very high turn over of goons because I like to think that most people very quickly realise that this job is 100% predatory.
They get these people from the same pool of the public as parking wardens, street litter enforcers, security. ex police. Park wardens, school janitors, pcso's, council licencing enforcement officers. They are a lower educated, lower ranked group who love regimental officialdum. They are infact the most dangerous group in society as they follow orders from above without question or care. It is well known and many books about it that this sector if society, the lowest order of the state carrying out the rules are what got hitler into power and many other now regrettable regimes.

Cancelled my license today........... I got an email acknowledgement advising that 'I would be advised of the outcome of my application within 21 days'. Even their automated email responses are institutionally arrogant!
But just imagine, what the hell do you tell your kids without seriously embarrassing and disappointing them when they one day do ask.. "Dad, what is it that you do for a living?"...once you've 'qualified' as a fully fledged tv goon!?
I can’t believe it The first interaction on your clip is the same guy but in a different situation who got me into this goon watching 11 years ago He hasn’t aged 😂😂😂 It was by “Kroaky Liam” “How to deal with TV license inspector 😂👍😁
Dear Jon, The 1st one I will give 10 out of 10. Little prick of a goon was owned. The 2nd I will also give 10 out of 10 as he showed courtesy of letting the goon that she was being. Not his fault the goon was a gutless wonder. Again 10 out of 10 for the last goon thought he could be in one upmanship on the client (victim) 2 bonus points to follow him to the gate in order of the goon not sneaking around the property. Let's face it , I would trust them as far as I could throw them and that would not be very far.
I cancelled my license last year, I got a letter thanking me for telling them I don't need a licence & I still get so many letters reminding me & have had a visit while I was at work saying an investigation is on going this harassment has got to be stopped or people will just pay it to save on all the hassle
No. Follow them down the path to make sure the goon was well out of your property boundary. He was not invited, not a courier, not a postman. Should'ave been a 10
Many years ago before computers this lady got a phone call from TV license as there was a mix up and although she did have a license it wasn’t actually recorded so the goon asked can I come to your house today to make sure and she says okay but I’m going out, my husband will be home and the license is under the clock on the mantelpiece. So the goon arrives that afternoon and the husband answers the door and he says can I see your TV license it’s under the clock on the mantelpiece and the husband replies my god just how powerful are your TV license detector vans?
Go to halfords, buy a wheel clamp, when they visit, clamp their vehicle. Have an 8 page questionnaire with 260 questions on it ready. Before beginning to ask them the quesitons Inform them that based on the fact they have not written to you to confirm that they do not want their vehicle clamped you have had to open an investigation and progress it to the final level. Inform them that you are a "Senior Vehicle Clamp Removal Investigator" and will now under caution ask them 260 questions to establish if they need a clamp removal service. Also inform them that as part of your investigations you may be required to visit their residence during the day or in the evening to continually monitor their clamp removal requirements. Hours of fun and still cheaper than buying a TV licence.
"Are you the occupier..?" Occupier of what exactly? I mean, if we're going to be asking vague questions. Don't be surprised if you get vague or even bizarre answers.
Ooh, I clicked onto something else, but came back because I thought of a good reply to "Are you the occupier..?" Your answer should be.. "I am alpha and omega. The beginning and the end." Mind.. If he's never played Xenogears, then it wouldn't mean much. So actually, don't bother.
Had a visit in December, he was polite, I was polite, he confirmed I did not require a licence, receive a letter couple of days later to confirm this, received a red letter off them two days ago telling me I was being investigated for no licence????.
After my Father in law died we were harassed by these goons along with threatening letters from Crapita .(err, he was dead). One evening my son found some guy wandering around the empty bungalow shining a torch through the windows. He asked what he was doing trespassing on the site, (we ran a machinery business and had problems with visitors from the "travelling community") he said that he was from TV Licensing (Crapita). My son told him that he was lucky not to be shot by me. The cream of the joke was my Father in law was over 75 and didn't need a licence.
I have a cheapy Gopro copy that films in 4k- it goes with me everywhere these days. There are notices on the shed in the fromt garden advertising the CCTV system and notes Plaques on front and back doors saying "No Cold Callers/Reps or other doorstep salesmen- All callers will be videoed for our safety and legal protection" then underneath in small print it gives our address as the owners of the film material and that we own the copyrights etc, etc Since putting up the notices, we have had ZERO cold callers!! Try it people, you can get the signs on Amazon or ebay cheap as chips!
None of them introduce themselves unless you ask who they are. Usually they ask you directly if you are Mr or Mrs such-and-such or if you are the occupier. Don't confirm anything to these people. If YOU ask who they are, they keep asking who YOU are, until eventually and reluctantly, they show you their card. A no thank you is all that is required there after and off they trot when you have closed the door behind them.
According to the BBC regulations they must show identity which shows name and a photograph, they are also issued with cards which give a number to call to verify their identity , Seems more training needed ,
Capital has a policy of warning its agents not engage with video cammers freemen on the land or other "loonies" as it calls them; usually they hide behind their clipboards and wave their ID cards and whine that they "have the right not to be filmed"; the correct response is to say "tell the council to take down their CCTV cameras then" which they have no answer to.
I was very impressed by a recent bright red envelope containing further news of an impending visit that has been scheduled every couple of months for the past year or so. No sign of any of these Munchkins so far but my camera is waiting with batteries all charged up.
I'd love it if you used a section of the David Bowie song, 'Fashion' - quite a rocking number, with the line 'we are the goon squad and we're coming to town - beep beep!'
My favorite was 2 months ago. Goon came to door, wife answered and shouted 'hunny can you phone the old bill, theres a fella with dodgy id here, i dont sealf safe.' Inever seen someone run so fast
I know you say not to talk to them, but you have to let people have some fun with winding them up. As long as they don't give out a single bit of info, i think the goons probably deserve some grief.
I love seeing goons being sent off. As long as you answer absolutely nothing to any question or demand they ask then video them doing the walk of shame off your property.
I dunno, if someone turns up to my door, fails to identify themselves and runs away at the sight of a camera then they *might* be TVL but they could as easily be some other miscreant up to no good. Might be worth reporting to the police as a non-emergency anyway so they can keep track of door-to-door scammers, burglary gangs, etc.
Absolutely. Play daft. I'm an OAP and I adopt this stance a lot. "Someone came to the door, Mr Plod, then didn't identify themselves and toddled off because I was filming them for my own security. Wonder who it coulda been as they ran away?" 3rd one was appalling! "The Occupier"??? WT* does that mean? All letters to The Occupier are be'coz they have no idea who lives at the address and are clearly fishing. You could equally try "I'm a visitor. I was expecting a delivery. Where's the package ? Oh, who are you then?"
If they do not identify, they are most certainly con men/women regardless of whether or not they work for Capita, suspicious looking person who refuses to identify knocking on doors and demanding to talk to the occupier, refusing to identify, definitely a confidence trickster, so a call to 101, or even 999 could definately be justified. When my grandmother got a knock on the door from TV licensing demanding entry and refusing to leave (this was about 30 years ago) she called the police, had a police officer enter her flat and confirm she did not have a TV, unfortunately no charges were brought against the goons in question.
Jamie - Correct. FILM and FOLLOW every time - to their car and get Car No. and check on DVLA re Tax and MOT. Call Police if they've failed to ID to your satisfaction!
Wait a minute, Jon! That last one - if you docked him a point and gave him 9.2, then if you hadn't docked him a point, then he would have got a maximum score of... 10.2!
I filmed a goon when they turned up at my door. He sheepishly asked me if I was going to upload it to RUclips. I reassured him I wasn't as I was going to put it on my OnlyFan's account instead! 🤣He quickly scuttled off blocking his face with his folder.
I think they're starting to give up tbh. I had a "visit" on Wednesday where they didn't even bother knocking the door, they just stuffed a notice through the letterbox saying they'd visited and legged it. I was in the living room and watched him walk up the drive, post the notice and leave. I was quite disappointed actually.
Don't answer the door, make sure they can't see into any room where a TV may be just incase they try to incriminate you........ Do not interact whatsoever or pay them ANYTHING!!
I go one better my Boerboel checks everyone's ID before they set foot on my property. Funnily enough they stopped coming after their second attempted visit and haven't heard from them since 😂
Videoing them and reminding them that it is for evidence of extortion and that you have the right to upload it to social media as it is on your property and Trespassing as you have asked them to leave as they do not have any right to be there.And there car number plate will be recorded also to check that it has "Business Insurance " attached to it,And will be reported if it doesn’t.
I have to disagree with you on docking the last one for following them actually. Yes they followed them but they did not continue engaging with them nor did they follow them beyond their property line. If I lived in a house with a front garden like that I'd be inclined to do the same actually, see this unknown unwelcome guest off my property and make sure the gate was closed behind them. They had no guarantee this mysterious random goon would close the gate themselves so seeing them off to their front gate peacefully without engaging further seems entirely justified to me. The ones that walked out and followed them to keep gassing on and engaging with them is another matter entirely, just escorting them off your private property close the gate behind them and going straight back inside seems fine to me though. If you think I'm wrong here please do convince me as I really don't see the problem there.
can we get the community to wear the glasses and fake moustache when the TV licence guy visits, are you the home owner? yes and my name is Mr or Mrs Funt ..... you should sell it as merch lmao
One of your most entertaining videos. I especially like the goon visits of the entertaining variety. My all time favourite is the "TVL van chase". Chilli, please do a reaction video to it. You'll know it's the right video when you hear little mix playing on the car radio with an angry bloke screaming as he chases TVL in their van.
Without filming them they can go away and write down what ever they want about you and your actions, which could be a complete lie, but the courts are likely to take note of as will have been taken contemporaneously.

I let my legal agents deal with them, my vicious dogs; they don't even get on the property.
I have cctv and a ring doorbell covering my front door so all goons welcome for entertainment purposes only 🤣🤣
Even funnier on the 2nd clip where theres a big empty tv box 🤣🤣🤣
They all get a 10 out of 10 from me
Don't mess with the first lady score 10+
Give them a little sympathy. Imagine finding out the only job that's going after failing as a traffic warden...
THEY FAILED THE ENTRANCE TESTS FOR SHOVELLING SHIT FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.
But just imagine, what the hell do you tell your kids without seriously embarrassing and disappointing them when they one day do ask.. "Dad, what is it that you do for a living?"...once you've 'qualified' as a fully fledged tv goon!?
At least traffic wardens get a uniform, and kind of look police like! These knobs look like they're coming to case your house, totally unprofessional
@mistermatix8241 these knobs!😂. Fantastic
They don’t like it tough shit. They’re on YOUR property you’re allowed to film them
I can’t believe it
The first interaction on your clip is the same guy but in a different situation who got me into this goon watching 11 years ago
He hasn’t aged 😂😂😂
It was by “Kroaky Liam”
“How to deal with TV license inspector
😂👍😁
Oops sorry it was the second interaction
third lol
Dear Jon, The 1st one I will give 10 out of 10. Little prick of a goon was owned. The 2nd I will also give 10 out of 10 as he showed courtesy of letting the goon that she was being. Not his fault the goon was a gutless wonder. Again 10 out of 10 for the last goon thought he could be in one upmanship on the client (victim) 2 bonus points to follow him to the gate in order of the goon not sneaking around the property. Let's face it , I would trust them as far as I could throw them and that would not be very far.
Yep, and he made sure that the goon didn't "forget" to close the gate.
I get the impression watching one at your door could be fun 😆
I cancelled my license last year, I got a letter thanking me for telling them I don't need a licence & I still get so many letters reminding me & have had a visit while I was at work saying an investigation is on going this harassment has got to be stopped or people will just pay it to save on all the hassle
No. Follow them down the path to make sure the goon was well out of your property boundary. He was not invited, not a courier, not a postman. Should'ave been a 10
The irony of the second one walking down the stairs and passing a TV box waiting for disposal 🤣🤣🤣
yeah, lol, 1:59
10 outta 10 for the entertainment valve of the first two lol.
Many years ago before computers this lady got a phone call from TV license as there was a mix up and although she did have a license it wasn’t actually recorded so the goon asked can I come to your house today to make sure and she says okay but I’m going out, my husband will be home and the license is under the clock on the mantelpiece. So the goon arrives that afternoon and the husband answers the door and he says can I see your TV license it’s under the clock on the mantelpiece and the husband replies my god just how powerful are your TV license detector vans?
Go to halfords, buy a wheel clamp, when they visit, clamp their vehicle. Have an 8 page questionnaire with 260 questions on it ready. Before beginning to ask them the quesitons Inform them that based on the fact they have not written to you to confirm that they do not want their vehicle clamped you have had to open an investigation and progress it to the final level. Inform them that you are a "Senior Vehicle Clamp Removal Investigator" and will now under caution ask them 260 questions to establish if they need a clamp removal service. Also inform them that as part of your investigations you may be required to visit their residence during the day or in the evening to continually monitor their clamp removal requirements. Hours of fun and still cheaper than buying a TV licence.
0:51 Walks straight across the garden. 🙄
What happened to "EOs must always have respect for the householder’s property
and privacy."?
"Are you the occupier..?" Occupier of what exactly? I mean, if we're going to be asking vague questions. Don't be surprised if you get vague or even bizarre answers.
Ooh, I clicked onto something else, but came back because I thought of a good reply to "Are you the occupier..?" Your answer should be.. "I am alpha and omega. The beginning and the end." Mind.. If he's never played Xenogears, then it wouldn't mean much. So actually, don't bother.
Had a visit in December, he was polite, I was polite, he confirmed I did not require a licence, receive a letter couple of days later to confirm this, received a red letter off them two days ago telling me I was being investigated for no licence????.
I know lol. Been there.
i dont like having a finger up the fruit bowl to check my prostate but there we go.
After my Father in law died we were harassed by these goons along with threatening letters from Crapita .(err, he was dead). One evening my son found some guy wandering around the empty bungalow shining a torch through the windows. He asked what he was doing trespassing on the site, (we ran a machinery business and had problems with visitors from the "travelling community") he said that he was from TV Licensing (Crapita). My son told him that he was lucky not to be shot by me. The cream of the joke was my Father in law was over 75 and didn't need a licence.
I have a cheapy Gopro copy that films in 4k- it goes with me everywhere these days. There are notices on the shed in the fromt garden advertising the CCTV system and notes Plaques on front and back doors saying "No Cold Callers/Reps or other doorstep salesmen- All callers will be videoed for our safety and legal protection" then underneath in small print it gives our address as the owners of the film material and that we own the copyrights etc, etc Since putting up the notices, we have had ZERO cold callers!! Try it people, you can get the signs on Amazon or ebay cheap as chips!
"There are notices on the shed in the front garden advertising the CCTV system"
You don't need those signs on private property.
@@BedsitBob His whole point is that it's a deterrent to cold callers; in which case the signs are worth their weight in gold.
It's hilarious that they hate being filmed.
None of them have an ounce of self respect, otherwise they'd find an honourable profession.
None of them introduce themselves unless you ask who they are. Usually they ask you directly if you are Mr or Mrs such-and-such or if you are the occupier. Don't confirm anything to these people. If YOU ask who they are, they keep asking who YOU are, until eventually and reluctantly, they show you their card. A no thank you is all that is required there after and off they trot when you have closed the door behind them.
According to the BBC regulations they must show identity which shows name and a photograph, they are also issued with cards which give a number to call to verify their identity , Seems more training needed ,
That first bloke should be dealt with by Corporal Nauyokas of Lads Army, "KEEP OFF THE GRASS!".
1) Bet Lynch-esque (7)
2) Dick Emery-sequence "didn't even get a kiss on the first date 🤷♂️"
3)"Dad,I got it wrong again!".
I really did enjoy this episode lol
Capital has a policy of warning its agents not engage with video cammers freemen on the land or other "loonies" as it calls them; usually they hide behind their clipboards and wave their ID cards and whine that they "have the right not to be filmed"; the correct response is to say "tell the council to take down their CCTV cameras then" which they have no answer to.
To be fair, the first one didn't seem bothered about being filmed.
Maybe he actually remembered bits of his training manual.
I was very impressed by a recent bright red envelope containing further news of an impending visit that has been scheduled every couple of months for the past year or so. No sign of any of these Munchkins so far but my camera is waiting with batteries all charged up.
I'd love it if you used a section of the David Bowie song, 'Fashion' - quite a rocking number, with the line 'we are the goon squad and we're coming to town - beep beep!'
'we are the goon squad and we're coming to town - honk honk!' 😁
A ringing endoresment - what can I say - 'beep beep!!'
My favorite was 2 months ago. Goon came to door, wife answered and shouted 'hunny can you phone the old bill, theres a fella with dodgy id here, i dont sealf safe.' Inever seen someone run so fast
I say bollocks, i would give them all 10 out of 10.
Love a good TV Licence video 😎😎
The BBC should be a subscription service like netflix etc...people are not forced to use netflix so why force people to use another channel.
I know you say not to talk to them, but you have to let people have some fun with winding them up. As long as they don't give out a single bit of info, i think the goons probably deserve some grief.
NO. there is a slim chance you may say something they CAN use to get a warrant. Just shut mouth, shut door.
With my ring door camera and my cctv they will get recorded without my phone thrust at them .. . Love the videos and the fearsome woman for me 😂
I love seeing goons being sent off. As long as you answer absolutely nothing to any question or demand they ask then video them doing the walk of shame off your property.
"Declare you don't need a gun licence". So the same as a pilot's or firearm's licence then.... 🤣🤣
Things can be more than one thing. Educational and entertaining!
It's HIS property, he didn't FOLLOW him anywhere.
Thanks for the video it was really good, the Goons have to stop going to people's door.
You never need to be rude. Just revoke your implied right of access and they should never bother you again. Worked for me.
I dunno, if someone turns up to my door, fails to identify themselves and runs away at the sight of a camera then they *might* be TVL but they could as easily be some other miscreant up to no good. Might be worth reporting to the police as a non-emergency anyway so they can keep track of door-to-door scammers, burglary gangs, etc.
Absolutely. Play daft. I'm an OAP and I adopt this stance a lot. "Someone came to the door, Mr Plod, then didn't identify themselves and toddled off because I was filming them for my own security. Wonder who it coulda been as they ran away?"
3rd one was appalling! "The Occupier"??? WT* does that mean? All letters to The Occupier are be'coz they have no idea who lives at the address and are clearly fishing.
You could equally try "I'm a visitor. I was expecting a delivery. Where's the package ? Oh, who are you then?"
If they do not identify, they are most certainly con men/women regardless of whether or not they work for Capita, suspicious looking person who refuses to identify knocking on doors and demanding to talk to the occupier, refusing to identify, definitely a confidence trickster, so a call to 101, or even 999 could definately be justified.
When my grandmother got a knock on the door from TV licensing demanding entry and refusing to leave (this was about 30 years ago) she called the police, had a police officer enter her flat and confirm she did not have a TV, unfortunately no charges were brought against the goons in question.
Jamie - Correct. FILM and FOLLOW every time - to their car and get Car No. and check on DVLA re Tax and MOT.
Call Police if they've failed to ID to your satisfaction!
Tell em to take a hike with the traffic wardens.
They don't want to be filmed because they want to get away with it.
A very good episode of Strictly Come Gooning.
i was so disappointed when i wasn't home when they visited
I've been paying TV license for over 5 years even though I only play videogames and watch RUclips. Thanks mate , I'll stop paying this shite
Wait a minute, Jon! That last one - if you docked him a point and gave him 9.2, then if you hadn't docked him a point, then he would have got a maximum score of... 10.2!
I love watching these 👍
I filmed a goon when they turned up at my door. He sheepishly asked me if I was going to upload it to RUclips. I reassured him I wasn't as I was going to put it on my OnlyFan's account instead! 🤣He quickly scuttled off blocking his face with his folder.
love your videos keep posting
If the score is out of ten, and you're deducted a/one point, how can you end up with 9.2? :D
I think they're starting to give up tbh. I had a "visit" on Wednesday where they didn't even bother knocking the door, they just stuffed a notice through the letterbox saying they'd visited and legged it. I was in the living room and watched him walk up the drive, post the notice and leave. I was quite disappointed actually.
Yes I had a letter posted through my letter box, a threatening letter at that !!!
Don't answer the door, make sure they can't see into any room where a TV may be just incase they try to incriminate you........ Do not interact whatsoever or pay them ANYTHING!!
CJC I luv ya. You so made me laugh today 😂😂 😂
I go one better my Boerboel checks everyone's ID before they set foot on my property.
Funnily enough they stopped coming after their second attempted visit and haven't heard from them since 😂
Videoing them and reminding them that it is for evidence of extortion and that you have the right to upload it to social media as it is on your property and Trespassing as you have asked them to leave as they do not have any right to be there.And there car number plate will be recorded also to check that it has "Business Insurance " attached to it,And will be reported if it doesn’t.
Walks across the grass. 🙄
Great video jon
I have to disagree with you on docking the last one for following them actually. Yes they followed them but they did not continue engaging with them nor did they follow them beyond their property line. If I lived in a house with a front garden like that I'd be inclined to do the same actually, see this unknown unwelcome guest off my property and make sure the gate was closed behind them. They had no guarantee this mysterious random goon would close the gate themselves so seeing them off to their front gate peacefully without engaging further seems entirely justified to me. The ones that walked out and followed them to keep gassing on and engaging with them is another matter entirely, just escorting them off your private property close the gate behind them and going straight back inside seems fine to me though. If you think I'm wrong here please do convince me as I really don't see the problem there.
If you lock the gate they are not allowed to even get to the front door.
The scoring system is definitely the way forward 👌
can we get the community to wear the glasses and fake moustache when the TV licence guy visits, are you the home owner? yes and my name is Mr or Mrs Funt ..... you should sell it as merch lmao
One of your most entertaining videos.
I especially like the goon visits of the entertaining variety. My all time favourite is the "TVL van chase". Chilli, please do a reaction video to it. You'll know it's the right video when you hear little mix playing on the car radio with an angry bloke screaming as he chases TVL in their van.
Without filming them they can go away and write down what ever they want about you and your actions, which could be a complete lie, but the courts are likely to take note of as will have been taken contemporaneously.
