Anonymous Coward User ID: 73482814 United Kingdom 11/25/2016 02:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you really pay a yearly tax on each TV you have in your home? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73167907 I heard it goes to support having the BBC rammed down your throats. You have to pay a TV license if you watch live television, or watch certain on demand services. Seeing as all they have nowadays is a load of shit, there is no need to pay for it if you use netflix etc. |

Quoting: ThisWayUp But if you are registered blind you get a 50% reduction. Total madness and it should be abolished for blind people. Partially blind is full price license. Hold on a second there, chief. Most sensory input is visual, not just most to be true but nearly all fer Pete's sake. You should easily get 90% off the service if you have a condition. Otherwise you're better off just stickin with the radio. I like those old mystery theatre shows to listen to when your out doin the fishin and the campin. When you're doin it alone out far an proper like and all you got's is the radio, you feel the disconnect from people (and always a bit of a chill, eh) yet, not abandoned cause A.M. AND IT"S FUNNY, funny cause when yer out there all alone and you ought to be ascared of the bears and the nickets and cricks in the bush they do the same thing they did to ya as a young un. They try and scare ya more! [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Nothin beats listen this in a 70s camper van shaggin wagon with a lil boat out in the boons! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27961611 United Kingdom 11/25/2016 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have to pay for any smart devices in your home too, I forgot how much now but you do get billed for them, smart phones, tablets, hi-fi, computers, that sort of thing... Disgraceful if u ask me, since if you have children you need these sort of things for schools and if you work you need them too... By the time you pay all your taxes here you may as well not have worked... |
