the only loons are the ones that pay up

This Forum has never failed to unearth an endless supply of "certifiables".
In Tammy we have struck gold.
On the bonus side,it has made me chuckle.

V Licensing and the law

Part 4 of the Communications Act 2003 makes it an offence to install or use a television receiver to watch or record any television programmes as they're being shown on television without a valid TV Licence. The Act empowers the BBC to make and amend the terms and conditions of a licence. It allows the government to make regulations to exempt or reduce the licence fee for certain persons in certain circumstances. It also makes it an offence for anyone to have any television receiver in their possession or under their control who intends to install or use it in contravention of the main offence (above), or knows, or has reasonable grounds for believing, that another person intends to install or use a television receiver in contravention of the main offence.
The Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004 define what is a 'television set' and who is a 'television dealer'. The regulations also set out the various types of TV Licence, the criteria for obtaining them, the fees payable for them (including the frequency and amount of instalments) and the different concessions available, including concessions for people who are blind or severely sight impaired, people who are over 74 years of age, people who live in residential care and people who run hotels, guesthouses or campsites.
The Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1967 (as amended) has been repealed meaning that from 25 June 2013 onwards, TV dealers are no longer required to notify TV Licensing when they sell or rent out TV equipment.

Tasmmy,
Feast your eyes on this; You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast. This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.

It costs £145.50 for colour and £49.00 for a black and white TV Licence

'people who live in residential care'   NAP  !

Actually I live in flats for over 55s only. We pay £7.50 for a licence. I feel a bit guilty tbh but there's no way I'd pay £120 per month for TV.

right at the end of this clip is a typical example,she even admits how can i see you in court if i don't have your details.that's what i'm on about you don't have to tell them anything.

SS,
It is all about individual finances.
I would not pay £500,000 for a Yearling but to Shiek Mo it is a TV Licence equivalent.

Tammy,
TV Detector vans do just what it says on the tin.
If you are watching a TV from an unlicenced property they can detect it.
Amazingly,that is how they get convictions,you Rajpot.

The Government's Care in the Community Act has much to answer for,imo.

@least tambhoy will be able to meet BBC icons when he's I a cell

So,in conclusion,the Forum knows nothing about Law and Tammy is Rumpole of the Bailey!.
There is a very good reason that nutters are locked away.
Get ready for the Liquid Cosh,Tammy!

Remember to state that as they say,"take the Prisoner down",Tammy!

send them an implied right of access letter and they can't come on your property and knock your door.
then you can take them to a civil court

sorry but just like my stats thread i'm just trying to put some money in peoples pockets.

i will say no more on the subject

What idiot cited TV Detector Vans? Oh, sorry racing

anybody who has ignored their viewers as much as CH 4 racing appears to have done

deserves to fail imo

I would be very happy to do without any terrestrial channels if I could avoid the license fee. I only watch C4 racing if I am away from home. I pay 3 license fees as I have 2 holiday cottages next to my house so that is £420 a year for the privilege of funding BBC, the most self satisfied and pointless organisation on the planet.

They wrote back saying they had done the work and were very happy with how things are going

judo - C4 Racing are a perfect example of so many businesses in this country these days who think they are above finding out what their customers actually want. They'd rater pay big bucks to a marketing firm to produce a report telling them they're doing great. They then seem surprised when it all goes t*ts-up.
