Is this the biggest mental health card ever played?

Still on 400k a year for sitting in the hoose.

Surely that'll be an insurance company paying that?

Don't think so.

Be part of terms and conditions of employment ......and BBC ain't gonna cut him off with the mental health card, if he was a black lesbian he wudnt be back at all.

Glad I don't pay for that.

I am quite traditional in my outlook and don't understand how you can legally avoid paying for a TV licence. However, there have been comments made on forums where people say they don't pay for a TV licence. How do you do that legally? Would like to consider this.

Cancellation and refund request form on line was how I did it.

Dinnae think you have to but I'd assume you wud get bombarded with letters if you don't.

You don't need a licence if you don't watch live TV, record live TV or watch BBC I player.

Don't give them the dough.

Thanks. Don't think I could obey the rules. Is there anything about owning a TV?

You can own a TV and watch any recording from non live TV or downloaded programme except BBC I player.

To be honest with you I doubt they even check much now.

Unless you invite them in at half 7 whilst the Mrs is watching EastEnders the chances of getting caught even if you occasionally watch live TV is minimal.

I've not had one for 5 years, never even had a letter.

Not strictly correct - you should have a license if you have equipment capable of showing live TV.

Martin Lewis the money expert site explains it pretty clearly.
