Surely they must have taken a lot of abuse for that?
When I first moved away from home I had EXACTLY the same conversation with the TV licence theives. I was happy to pay monthly for one year, but couldn't afford two at once and didn't even know if I'd still be away from home next year. The humourless robot bloke on the end of the phone kept threatening me that bad things would happen if I didn't. I put the phone down on him after going around the loop five or six times.

I'm NOW getting letters for my current address because I bought a telly, argos the telltale little gits told on me. We DO have a licence, but it's in my partner's name, and they won't change it without a really unecessary amount of fuss. (The fact that I pay the bill seems not to matter.) I'm usually a very peaceable person, but I think I'd love to have a really good go at hurting some of these people, Dexter-style, with plastic food wrap and sharp things...
