he missed the H out of where rather than missing the ' out of we're...which would be wrong too because then he would be saying "we are have I said that?"

Lol I've not read the post again Restless, I would, but it would probably cause me some sort of pain, and I like to go gentle on myself these days.
I am a grammar nazi. I cannot help it sometimes, I am perhaps hypocritical because I am absolutely atrocious at mathematics. However this is why I tend to make use of a calculator.
If you are such an anarchist, do you pay your rent/mortgage, council tax, utility bills etc? If not are you not very cold and living in a tent or squat? You have to be able to stand by your principles or they are meaningless.
In the eighties I did the poll tax protest to the point where I beat the bailiffs but was about to be sent to prison, by which time the poll tax had been withdrawn and I agreed to pay a nominal amount. I was protesting about a principle which I genuinely felt was wrong (but knew how far I was prepared to go, call me a coward for not following it through to the end but I cared more about my children's wellbeing.) I'm actually proud of the fact that I was part of overturning an unjust system.
I don't think that you can just not pay your TV licence because you don't want to, if you genuinely don't agree sort out a proper protest, don't rely on the people who appear in Court for non payment who usually have more personal rather than political reasons for non payment.
I think you may be looking for a cause to protest against which you have not found. You can't rebel for the sake of it.
I agree anarchic views are admirable, it's just that as you say, without being a total societial outcast and creating a more difficult life for yourself, it's difficult to be an anarchist to any sort of notable extent...And I struggle to find a middle ground with things such as TV licencing etc.
I think I am a slightly anarchic. But the reason I CAN be anarchic is due to luck, and due to circumstances beyond my control-and surely this makes me the opposite of an anarchist, my mutiny(partially) was cut out for me and I just went along with it!
As for the idiot box, I never had one when I had my own house , until I was bought one by my Mother. I never knew where the remote was and it got switched on about once a week when it suited me...
In the place I base my hat at now, there is one but it isn't even wired up...
I can watch things on the pc if I want to.I am quite hyperactive for want of a better word and the thought of sitting on my ass watching something somebody else decided was worthy of watch, doesn't appeal much, I'd rather do something fun, or useful...
Most of em can also talk a glass eye to sleep.
My remedy is to occasionaly poke wi stick (just fer my entertainment) but in the main, leave em too it.
, so I would get pestered
....so i don't require a TV licence.
