# Yawn.
Not again. License fee is paid to the TV licensing authority by people who want to legally operate equipment to receive TV and Radio broadcasts. The TVLA does not fund the BBC.
The government fund the BBC as part of the broadcast charter that insists that the BBC remain a public service broadcaster ( which they barely remain by having the minimum required News bulletins per day ).

If people want to justify the TV fee by saying it pays for entertainment then that in itself would be legal grounds to challenge the fee. If of course, it actually worked the way most people think.

# Can't have done badly for his popularity.
He's a big name but disregarding Black Books he's never done prime time.
He must have so loved doing that!

# I used to see him all the time when I lived on Dalling Road
or in the Stonemason's. He's always give me weird looks for some reason. Can't blame him, I had long hair and a leather jacket. :P

# hehe.
Perhaps he saw you as a threat on his territory, being as you were both scruffy louts ;)

He lives on the Grove still and buys his morning paper at the paki shop next to the Grove pub ( where he also drinks ).
We moved round the corner, a bit further into Brackenbury village but I still see him when I go down there.
