 Yeah, you pay the license or you get a fine. And even if you don't have a
 TV set you might find yourself accused of having one.

 "Case of being guilty before proved otherwise", somebody I knew squated
 in a house for about a year, they got threatening letters it seems,
 and even a van outside, funny enough they had gas but no electricity.

 What I find really amusing about a lot of people in this country is the
 huge fuss they create about things like ID cards, and the other side
 things like the TV license are considered acceptable. I wonder how much
 information about households is kept by the BBC and their "vigilante"
 system.
