Personally I don't watch any TV at all, so don't pay for a licence.

That's fine, but what's becoming more worrying is how easy it is to get live TV streamed over the Internet now - basically everyone with a PC and a broadband connection has the capability to watch live TV, (even if it's only News 24!) and that's the definition of requiring a TV license )-:

And,,,,, the garage up the end of the estate where i work can't have the radio on in the background now cos they don't have a licence,, also where i work, a few weeks ago had a letter asking if they had a licence (have broadband for streaming auction sites and dial up for vosa).
