My dear old Dad died a few years ago, and we are selling his flat. When going through his post, threatening letters from the TV licence goons outnumber all the other post by 10 to 1. They must have acknowledged his death, as the letters are addressed to the legal occupier. I could tell them, but why should I? Hope the enforcement officer, Scott Robson, is enjoying his 130 mile round trip from Guildford to my Dad's flat every couple of months, for no reason!

I do (through the wife) buy cards with Robins on, which pays for those birds, but don't pay God - as such. I don't want to fall foul of God so any advice you can give will be gratefully received. As far as Gary is concerned, I am not paying for his pay rise so hopefully some of my money is paying the Robins to pay for him as well.

He however during the time it took me to open the door had walked onto my front garden and looked into my house. He then questioned that i was watching sports. I told him i was listening to music on you tube and there was a comedy video showing baseball being featured (I think it was a Dire straits track). He said fine and went, but it was rather annoying that he went out of his way to look into my house.

I told them that I don't need a license and they sent a goon around to "inspect". I was, as you said, playing a straight game and I let the goon in. This was a few years ago and the first thing the goon saw was that there were no set-top boxes and the cables to the satellite dish and roof antenna had both been cut. He flicked through a few channels on the TV, found nothing and left looking annoyed. TV Licensing send out a letter every couple of years asking if I need a license yet but otherwise they leave me alone. Obviously I'm not telling people that this is the way to go, I'm just saying that this is what I did. My attitude towards this is if they want to waste their time and resources then I say go for it, I'll annoy goons all day long. The look on the goon's face as he left was satisfying.

Do any other companies investigate people for not using their services? The BBC are off their rocker with all this nonsense.

The law says (that I would question) that you can't watch anything live as it is broadcast on any device without a TV license but even if you do how can they prove it especially if you don't talk to them when they call at your door?

You could of course send the letters back to the Harrisment Center @ BBC and their address and pop it in the post with no stamp. With return to sender in big letters. 🤣😂😅

Hey Jon, As a follow on from my letter from TVL, two years after, I had a 2nd letter from TVL asking if I still did not require a license. I replied via their telephone answering service. There was no need to give a name at all. Previous to that, I tried the online service but you cannot complete that process without leaving an email address which of course I wasn't prepared to do. So I would recommend the telephone service method of informing them that you do not require a license.

I love the red envelopes. Means it cost them that little bit extra to print and send out. The more they bombard me with mail the more I smile. Remember everyone it costs them money to print and send letters. It costs you nothing to put them in the bin or use them for kindling.

The bbc s carbon footprint regarding these paper warnings must be horrendous, the paper and delivery service involved is a disgrace in this age
