TV Licencing are a bunch of a$$holes.
Sent us threatening letters (from day one) for a year to a house which wasn't even habitable for most of it (and certainly never had a television in it). We were 'selected for a visit' to be 'questioned under caution' so many times that I lost count.
I should have been delighted to be 'visited' as I should have been very happy to 'explain' the situation to the 'visitor'!
I even filled in a questionnaire on the BBC website about licence fee collection in which I said that their methods would make the SS blush. I don't think that comment made it into the final consultation document…
And yes, we do have a licence for the house in which we live and good value it is too!
