# better that
than ads for Currys or other such shit.

the license fee is the same as about 3 months cable, and most of the good stuff on cable is on the BBc channels anyway. it's a fantastic thing

# It just irritated me
that the licence fee went up to fund their digital 'line-up' which contains maybe three decent programs (none of which I've seen because I don't HAVE digital - so, again, why should I have to pay for it?) amongst the whole lot.

# what bugs me
is I don't watch TV, the TV's not even set up for it, we use it to watch DVD's yet we still apparently need a licence...

# Oh.
Well, you could always not pay it and see what happens.

# what pisses me off even more
is that WE pay the licence fee for all the programmes that are broadcast to the rest of the world.

visit the BBC website & you can listen to the radio for free, wherever you are in the world. courtesy of UK licence payers
