Yep, because the bbc is state owned and non commercial it is funded by effectively a tv tax (license), no license no tv.

Funny song. Some clever lines

Be thankful you have the BBC. The CBC used to be amazing and now it's dying death by a thousand cuts. The television services are horrible and the radio service is slowly losing all regional programming

ANYway, back to regularly scheduled hilarity!

well because its state owned you know you can trust it....

welcome to the nanny state i hope you like getting licenses before you do ANYTHING...(soon you cant have children with out license, and if you do they use that to justify murder)

its already to the point where children running lemonade stands need licenses to have a lemonade stand in their front yard...

So why does this thread stay here when others get moved to the Pilots Lounge?

Yep. You have to pay for BBC whether you watch it or not.... If I read the form when paying my licence renewal correctly... I think it now extends to people who own PCs with internet as well just in case someone is sneaky enough to watch the BBC iPlayer without paying. (They've certainly been pushing for that for a few years now)

For many years I didn't even own a TV as, generally, I'd rather kick back and listen to some good music and read a book (Remember them? lol)..... got a TV when the missus moved in. During the time I didn't have one I was constantly being bullied by the licencing guys as they refused to accept that anyone could not want a television. lol

"You prefer thinking for yourself, sir? likely story! Cough up or we'll take you to court"
