Of course you could just pay it


You are making the assumption that I don't pay the BBC tax.

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.


Who said anything about my name? Not me.


I was being exceptionally dense and just thinking that the address of
the BBC licensing bods would be used to give them a piece of your
mind. Yes, I know it doesn't make any sense in the context of things -
apologies, yesterday had been a long day.

FWIW, given the keenness for retailers to put one onto their marketing
database, I can well understand wanting to sidestep this somehow. I
was in a supermarket recently where someone was buying a television,
and the guy was somewhat perturbed as the sales lady was completely
unable to give a reason for why she was asking for his address -
indeed I think there was something a bit more complex like the
television wasn't for his dwelling or some such.
