Re: tele licence
 

I've bought my first tv licence yesterday. Before it was in my mums name and because she was over 75 she got it free. I'd forgotten all about it until i started reading this thread and then i saw the accy observer and all the people who have got done for not having a tv licence. I cant afford the fine so i thought i'd best get one!

Re: tele licence
 

Yeah the Observer's full of them.

Fined for not having a television licence £250, more expensive than the licence.

Fined for driving without insurance £200, less than the cost of car insurance.

It stinks.

If you like I can record you a few episodes onto DVD and you could do a report on the soap for us.

Re: tele licence
 

I saw it when I lived in Scotland thanks.

My review-

Even more dire and depressing than Eastenders.

Re: tele licence
 

A little question for you all.

Why do we pay to watch Sky TV when they have adverts on? I know the movie channels don't but have to pay extra for those anyway. If you have the Family Pack or whatever its called like I do, every channel has adverts on.

Re: tele licence
 

I don't. I choose not too.

Re: tele licence
 

Eastenders is a party show in comparison. It does nothing for Glasgows image at all.

Re: tele licence
 

Sure they could do what the hell they like with their money, problem is, it's YOUR money!

Re: tele licence
 

Because sky is a business and has to pay for programs. I imagine some of the money goes towards keeping some of the less watched and free channels on air that create variety.
probably why they put that rubbish on with some bint lying half naked on a cushion on late at night to. Begging you to phone in on premium rate numbers. sky will get money for showing that.

Re: tele licence
 

We do not get real value for money. If the Beeb had to go it alone the the dung pipe expulsions it produces would have brought it to its knees years ago. Let it go alone and raise its own money without govenment payments from the licence fee and see what happens. :cool:

Re: tele licence
 

I think we do get some good programs because the beeb is still run the way it is, we get some right rubbish too though, dunno if it's worth putting up with the rubbish to get the decent programs that would dissappear if the government withdrew it's funding.

Re: tele licence
 

Its a far cry from the days when the programmes were introduced by ladies and gentlemen in evening clothes...Sylvia Peters,Mary Mallcome,Mcdonald Hobley ,and we had the likes of Gilbert Harding and Isobelle Barnett on the panel of whats my line..it was classy telly then:engsmil:
