So you have met the Tax Man in his element......

Everyone knows that TV Licensing does not work and is really just
another Tax. It would not surprise if the money went into the  general
Tax pot and then had to come out the other end again....

However British TV is still some of the best in the world, one of our
major exports, and content commissioned by the BBC is resold across
the world.

The main channel actually watched in by house is CBeebies, We watch a
bit of "Junk" because its there, otherwise the main us of the TV at
the moment is to use the WII and watch DVD's... We have Vigin Cable TV
but only because it came free with the Internet, we don't actually
watch anything we can't get on Freeview.
