					<description>Chris,
it is an absolute disgrace - I read your comment with incredulity !
The BBC is supposed to get the licence fee so they can provide quality programming and have no need to compete for viewers against the commercial channels.
They peddle pretty much the same garbage as all the others and I rarely, if ever watch any TV at all now !

If the BBC want to compete with ITV by making Celebrity Pedicures or whatever the hell they do then let then compete for advertising revenue as well and scrap the licence.
That and Council Tax are a disgrace as they are not means related and pro rata to many people's incomes are in fact a big tax.

I had no idea about the quality downturn Chris but that, as you say, simply bolsters the case against them.

&lt;b&gt;If you do go to court then tell them any confusion was down to the fact you've fought for your country just so bloody left-wing do-gooders at the BBC can stroke their goatee beards and drink espressos whilst wondering what politically correct clap trap and garbage they can put on the TV next&lt;/b&gt;

I'm ranting now I know, but frankly, you've seen active service and fought for this country - you shouldn't have to pay the bloody licence fee anyway !

I makes my blood boil !

TV Licencing, to be quite honest with you this totaly insenses me i missed a payment in March this year totaly by accident may i say, it normally just comes out of my bank anyway i get a letter last week saying that i am to apear in court on the 27th of this month as ive failed to pay, i am totaly fuminig about it as this was not my fault. and thinking about it over this last week i have now reselved never to pay it, my reasoning being that the BBC have reduced the Bitrate of there transmisions thus lowering the Sound and visual quality of the programs we watch, apaerntly they say that this has no effect on there programs but over the last couple of months i have noticed that i have to turn the TV up loader than normal on the BBC chanels as i find it hard to hear them, as a direct result of this i booked my self in for a hearing test thinking that i was going deaf the specialist told me that my hearing was above average, he also said to me that he has seen a marked increase in people attending the hospital complaining of the same thing when in fact there hearing is fine, it was he who told me about the reduction in tv quality.
they have aparently done this to increase the visual improvments in HD quality.
The TV licence is a CON and should be scrapped.
another thing that winds me up is the Banks, i went 65p overdrawn for a day in my Nat west account and they charged me £38 for a letter to tell me this, i was tinking of going into natwest and walking out with £34 of there property and waiting for them to call the police.

i have been told that these bank charges are ileagal so why is it we cant call the police when they take these charges from your account without your concent and let them deal with it, this country definatly needs a revolution i will go to war against the BBC and the Banking System tomorow, if i had the money to do it i would Sue the lot of them..

Infuriatingly Chris....</description>

					<description>Hi Helana,
thanks fo rthe great comment and welcome to the site - hope you'll return as we're singing from the same hymn sheet.
The level of incompetence shown by just about every government department and business for that matter in this country is staggering - it's little wonder we're in the state we're in !

Even the most simple of things are now turned into a nightmare and you're right who else would put up with it ?

Don't get me started on TV licences . . . it's one of the most iniquitous taxes that exists :twisted:
I have the same sense of impending doom Helana - I should hate to be starting again in this country
All the best 
Rod</description>

					<description>This is so true!  And as for the bread, last night at Sainsbury's there was not one loaf of bread left on the shelf.  This is no unusual either - the bread is normally gone by the afternoon.  There are too many people to be fed now.  Did you know that Canada has 30 million people and is the second largest country in the world - yet this tiny little island of ours has over 60 million and rising.  Too crowded - not enough supply for demand.  And what about the fact that if you go out to say Argos, to buy something for your television, within 24 hours you will have TV licensing banging on your door.  Think I'm joking?  Like the majority of people, we have a TV licence which is automatically renewed each year.  Earlier this year we bought some new cables for the back of our tele from Argos - within 24 hours a brown envelope landed on the doorstep telling us that they knew we had purchased this item which meant we must have a tele which meant we needed a licence - please send the money in the enclosed envelope!  I was furious - the licence is in my name (I'm female) but because my husband has a different Christian name, we are automatically suspected of not paying a licence!  It took about an hour of sitting through endless pre-recorded messages before we were finally able to sort the problem out.  I was shocked.  Can you imagine anyone in America putting up with this kind of treatment?  It's unbelievable!! I'm hoping to get out - I sense doom for the UK.</description>

					<description>LB,
you're not kidding !
I couldn't get any bread at the local shop the other day !
Went to Sainsbury's supermarket and their bread had only one day left on the date !
There were also several other items that I could not buy not to mention the third price rise in my claret since xmas - up 20% in 4 weeks !

How long before it's like Moscow Central was and you needed 2 days wages for a loaf of bread ?
Bet we don't get any cheap Vodka though !
Cheers
