To wish the BBC had adverts

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

so that we wouldn't have to pay a TV licence?

I normally channel flick through adverts anyway and they don't bother me that much (wee break, cuppa etc). The BBC advertises its own programmes now for quite a long time in-between programmes anyway.

I just think £145.50 for the few channels that the BBC provides is an awful lot!
AIBU?

Could be worse, in Ireland the national TV station has ads and you still have to pay the license fee which is about the same as the license fee here.
