I witnessed a crimeFreddy Woo writes, "A group of us once staggered home so insensible with drink that we failed to notice someone being killed and buried in a shallow grave not more than 50 yards away. A crime unsolved to this day."
Have you witnessed a crime and done bugger all about it? Or are you a have-a-go hero?
Whatever. Tell us about it...

No need for a licence if you don't pick up broadcast signalsPeople are quite right when they say you don't need a licence if you don't receive broadcast signals. You can have a television in your house and as long as it's not connected up to an aerial and used to watch broadcast telly, you're quite alright.
Of course, that doesn't take into account that the TV licencing people are utter pillocks and won't take no for an answer. Every year we have to ring them up and get very cross with someone who refuses to believe we could possibly *not* have a telly. I usually end up chatting to a supervisor and getting extremely cross before anything happens.
We've had the full range of letters. Threats, pleas, warnings that there's a van round the corner, pink flimsy ones that look like summons. I just mark them 'return to sender' and put them back in the box now.
Despite all the threats, no-one's ever called and I don't think anyone will. They're quite welcome to, of course; we really don't have a telly. Bastards.
