New Which survey finds most people would like them banned, strange how the BBC put this report up as i have known a couple of people who have changed their number to stop the BBC agents from calling them about a licence.

Can anyone tell me another business that would get away with sending you a threatening letter every month if you don't buy their product or let them search your house at least a couple of times to prove you don't.

POT KETTLE BLACK

Pot kettle black. No not really as they aren't the ones who did the survey and came to that conclusion.

The BBC subcontracts the collection and enforcement of tv licences. The latest figures for 2008/9 show the evasion rate was 5.3% so that justifies the methods they use to confirm folk are complying

I run a business and that's how I operate, so there's one example.

I'm a double glazing salesman. I throw bricks through peoples windows with my business card attached to them, and a note saying 'Ring this number for a friendly service - if you know what's good for you'.

Talking about POT KETTLE BLACK, that would be somebody who does not want BBC services but happily surfs the BBC website and posts links. A service paid for by the rest of us through the licence fee.

And you post about hypocricy.

RebelSouls how much do you spend on newspapers each week?

[R1Geezer]

another post about the BBC, how surprising

[LegalOccupier]

Keep up the good work the sooner they scrap the licence the better.

[ummmm]

Sigh...

[joko]

Looking at your previous posts, RS, don't you think that you are just a bit too obsessed with the BBC?
