Simple as that.

I don't, why?

c3pu · 12/08/2018 17:51

I haven't had one for a few years now.

NoTeaNoShadeNoPinkLemonade · 12/08/2018 17:51

nope

LongSummerDays · 12/08/2018 17:52

No we don't. And we don't miss it.

CaveyLass · 12/08/2018 17:53

No.

huggybear · 12/08/2018 17:53

Do you mean and still have a TV?

KlutzyDraconequus · 12/08/2018 17:54

No license, but I have a TV, I just don't watch live or use iPlayer. I don't choose to consume any BBc products at all.

Vitalogy · 12/08/2018 17:56

No I don't. The more people that stop this farcical payment the better. It's just not viable and relevant in this day and age. Down with the TV license.

CaveyLass · 12/08/2018 17:57

I think our tv is in the attic. We just watch YouTube content and non bbc catchup sometimes - channels 4 and 5.

hungryhippie · 12/08/2018 17:58

Not had one for about 10 years

TheQueef · 12/08/2018 17:59

No.
Haven't got a fishing, gun or HGV one either.

Mumshotel · 12/08/2018 18:00

Morally I really don't want to get one but a horrible woman called yesterday and harassed the life out of me. I told her to do one.
A few years ago I literally had a 4 day old screaming baby in my arms and 2 toddlers and I was caught by an inspector on the step. I am fuming. But now I think im just going to get one as i cant cope with the stress.

For those who d8nt do you watch BBC. I watch dramas on I player but I hate their fake news and propaganda. I suppose by virtue of watching the dramas on I player I should just pay up. Or stop ha ha

I do, I watch live TV, I use iPlayer and catch up. I listen to BBC radio channels. I don’t mind paying for a service I use.

Vitalogy · 12/08/2018 18:05

Mumshotel Just don't answer the door if it's Crapita.

CaveyLass · 12/08/2018 18:08

I don’t watch any bbc content whatsoever. You should pay it if you’re watching iplayer apparently. It’s a totally outdated system and should be scrapped for a subscription service now.

Personally, I think the bbc are a bunch of sexist, arrogant, overpaid shits, so they’ll never get a penny of my money ever again.

TyrionsNextWife · 12/08/2018 18:09

I don’t have one and I (childishly) take great pleasure in telling the inspectors to bugger off my property when they occasionally come knocking.

Mumshotel · 12/08/2018 18:09

I know. I was expecting a bloody amazon delivery and I thought that was her. I'll have to shout thru letterbox in future.

Mumshotel · 12/08/2018 18:12

Caveylass I feel the same. Peado, sexist, fake news dickheads. I will stop watching the dramas. Ha. I pay for Amazon prime, Netflix and sky and all together its less than the shitty licence. I think i can boycott the odd drama. My gut is telling me not to pay.

OP posts:
huggybear · 12/08/2018 18:12

So you watch TV? Why do you think you shouldn't have to pay then?

NotUmbongoUnchained · 12/08/2018 18:13

We dnt atm even though we should 🤭

Vitalogy · 12/08/2018 18:13

They have a "look" about them Grin

Can you see people by your door from a window to check first?

Vitalogy · 12/08/2018 18:16

Don't be a sheeple people.
