All you need know is that I'm calling from [stated address].<br /><br />TVL: Do you own a TV? If you do there is a £blah blah fine for not paying....<br /><br />Me: Firstly I don't own a TV as there's nothing whatsover interesting on it. Secondly if I did own a TV I certainly wouldn't watch any of the rubbish the BBC produces and thirdly, the BBC did not invent the TV, therefore it does not have copywrite of it. More so it was not the BBC that produced the first TV signal but an American and therefore does not have the rights to demand we pay for you telling us you have these rights when you clearly don't. I would like to finish this call by making a complaint that you are illegally robbing the people of this country with your demands for money to watch television.<br /><br />TVL: Well...erm...if you say you do not have a TV license then we will need to send someone around to check that you don't...<br /><br />Me: I don't think so, because that would be tresspassing onto my property without my authority. More so, you'd have to get past my intercom, which I never answer in my block of flats. Therefore it would be a complete waste of time sending someone around. Take it as red that I don't own a TV and therefore do not need to pay your stupid license. And if I did have a TV, I still wouldn't pay it, out of prinicple. Thank you and good day.
