[Margaret Pilkington]

Services are part of the topic...the licence you pay(or don't in, your case - you sponger) is to entitle you to a service.....in relation to the TV licence...the service is to be allowed to receive broadcasts.
In relation to other services, that you yourself mentioned....they are not licences, but charges for services which you use freely.
Gas, Electricty, Water......water includes the disposal of waste water and sewage...(which you produce in abundance)....you obviously use these services, but want the rest of us to foot the bill...that means you are a sponger, a freeloader...no other way to look at it.

If we all took your stance, the streets would be knee deep in rubbish, we would not have a safe water supply...it would be contaminated with sewage, disease would be rife,we would have rat infestations fo mammoth proportions.....you would need much more that your so called expensive water filters then.

As MargaretR says, our water supply isn't currently flouridated
