    TV Licensing act like Little Hitlers, and I challenge them to come on here on defend themselves otherwise.

    Let me explain. PC World sale had a nice little USB DVB stick for 10 pounds, bought one, and was asked my name and address at the checkout (in hindsight I should have said Mr G. Brown, 10 Downing street, but somehow...) Then a letter saying you haven't got a licence, you must buy one or Terry Wogan will starve (err, ok, maybe not). I have got a licence for this address, but not in my name. So I proceed to call the 0844 number, and told them the situation, and they then asked me who the licence holder was, what was the relationship between you and the licence holder, told them NONE OF YOUR FRICKIN BUSINESS What matters is that the property is covered by a TV licence and I've already told you the serial number of the existing licence, thats all you need to know. Then I was told I may get more demands to a buy a licence, if so, I must ignore those, so TV Licensing are guilty of generating huge amounts of paper most of which will end up in the shredder or bin.

    Surely a bit of common sense will say, ah the name is different, but the address is the same, so theres no need to issue needless demands for a TV licence?

    Having worked in commercial radio before, I know what an easy life these BBC people have.
