Aye but the damage he may have done to his main cash cow i reckon was the deciding factor.

When I was admitted to a care home on 26th Jan, it was a provisional arrangement in case I didn't like being here. A direct debit of £12+ for TV licence was taken from my account on 12th Feb.
I decided to stay so applied for a refund of that one month's TV licence - they refunded me the equivalent of THREE months payments.

I have got an email today to remind me to renew my TV licence which expires at the end of May :confused:

Re: Television Licence
 

I think it is totally wrong that people in care homes should have to pay for a licence individually. Hotels do not have one per room so why should care homes. I remember when my son went to uni each room was supposed to have a licence .He had taken his small tv from his bedroom with him and my husband told him if the authorities came to throw it out the window (he was on the 3rd floor) as a new set would be less than the fine.It is the only time I have ever heard him condone something wrong. Years ago an elderly relative lived in a sheltered housing complex and only paid about £25 for her tv.

iv come to look forward to these little visits from the BBC henchmen but i am disappointed they have removed the element of surprise and given me a heads up they are coming :(:(

Kuenssberg is a labour supporter, the BBC are a disgrace with there biased reporting.

Re: Television Licence
 

So you don't mind paying towards a disgrace?

Yes, they do seem to be biased, why then should we all be forced to pay for them before we listen/watch what we may find unbiased (well, maybe less biased)?

Just read this article below, seems the Brussels Bullsh'ting Co-operative have now become Tinterweb guardians! Since when have they been given the nod to do plods job? And on top of that what happened to the rules about peoples privacy & data protection? Their lawyers keep screeching loudly enough about it when Joe public starts asking questions of the beeb & it's functionaries but it's okay for them to castigate, criminalize & report the proles!
