Apple pie or peach?
One needs a licence to have a TV in UK? Amazing how innovative governments can be at taking money from people. Amazingly they haven't thought of that here.3. Forty years after colour TV was introduced to the UK there are still 34,700 people with black and white television licences.

This is publicity for women to have relationships with tall men
Actually,this doesn't sound very strange to me.Have you noticed that most of the world's greatest leaders were short?...

It's all for the BBC, which of course is State Sponsored & not allowed to run commercials (except for BBC materials) over TV or Radio in the UK. Dont know what a licence costs nowadays but it was 125 pounds/year (I think) last time I had one. It gave 2 channels & 6 radio stations then, now it is something like 8 channels & a stackload of radio channels. I would be more than happy to pay that again to avoid constant commercial interruptions.

We have it in Ireland as well. But its to do with RTE here. Pretty much the same reason as Kilted said about the BBC. If you are caught without a licence, you can be brought to court and fined....

Hmm. Do you pick those channels out of a bunch? Or is it the same channels for everyone? I guess it's not too bad if you get to choose. Here on cable TV we have th option to go with premium channels which are commercial free for something like $10/month. That's about the same amount as that licence. Well, I realized I haven't been watching these channels for a year, so i decided to end them. What am I paying for if I'm not interrested in their content? Plus I'd rather save the money. It always bugs me when one is forced to pay for something.

Well, it's all relative. The licence is a must, as Niamh says, fines are handed out for not having one. However, that is the only fee - all other channels are free - unless of course you choose to subscribe to Sky or a similar satellite service. Just now I think without a Sky subscription you can get around 50 channels for a yearly fee of around 125 pounds, not a bad deal altogether.
