Why is it that the TV Licencing Authority seem unable to understand that some people can exist without a TV?

When I moved to Accy in March, my TV went straight round to my fiances address as I spend most of my time there. I am at home for probably 2 hours at the most during the day which is "quality" time with my dog and late evening which is "Accy web" time!

I receive letters on a regular basis that have become more and more threatening, the latest in bold letters says "An officer is already planning to visit you within the next few days and therefore, I strongly advise you to purchase a TV licence now"

There is a small section on the back of this letter where I am invited to give reasons as to why I do not need a licence but what concern of it to them?

I telephoned the TV authorities.... and was informed that an officer will be round in a few days to confirm that I do not possess a TV set in the house. If I was a frail pensioner without a TV, I might have "buckled under" by now and bought a licence just to stop the bombardment of letters coming through my door.
