It is not the money, it is the principle.
I have to pay so they should too.
If they didn't spend the money on that then it would be wasted on something just as stupid.

And the postman can drive right up to the farmhouse door in his boxstandard van!

Oh, I agree. But there is a conflict in my mind (I know, there are treatments available! :lol: ). The country is just one big commercial venture and the sums just don't add up. If a company was run like the UK it would be out of business!! Come to think of it, the UK doesn't have any industry left anyway :roll:

Grrrr, hate hate hate.
The thing that really wound me up about the detector people was that they had the blanket approach that you had a telly. When I bought my first house I couldn't afford one, well I could but I chose not to. Three times they turned up, I showed them around the house to demonstrate not having a television and then I got court summons regardless!
After lots and lots of hassle I went and bought a tv and licence just to get a quiet life. Astoundingly, they still kept turning up and demanding to see my licence!
I'm slightly appeased though by a nice tale I heard - the detector van went on the ferry to Arran, but by the time it got there, it's wheels had vanished over the side...
