They use to hassle my 93 yr old uncle for not having a TV licence even though he didn't have a TV and could have got a license for free anyway.
They told him that to avoid harassment he should get his free license.
Problem was that having spent the last war inventing new and more efficient ways to kill Germans he wasn't about to play that game.
It was all a big game for him, no sooner had he reached agreement with one 'jobsworth' then a new and
more vicious 'enforcer would appear and ask to search his house for a TV. :'(
He died in 2007 having never had a license.
