Why fill in a form with an address when buying a television?

BBC tax? I find that the address of the BBC television licence bods
does nicely to deal with that sort of Stalinism.

Of course you could just pay it and stop fighting the world. You don't
have to give them your real name, and they don't much care about it
either - it's the premises that are licensed after all.

(Unless of course one wants to try and keep the specific premises off
their records, but that's kinda hard as they probably know about it
already - their address database is supposed to be one of the most
accurate, up to date ones that exists.)
