Older readers may remember when it was run by the Post Office. Well, collecting the license fee is the responsibility of the BBC as opposed to the PO these days - the BBC then largely contracts that work out, Capita doing the bulk of the work. So whilst the BBC certainly has an in-house TV licensing department/ office that oversees everything, the public's regular dealings with 'TV Licensing' will actually be with one of the BBC's appointed contractors. |

Which, of course, can render you liable for prosecution. On what basis? The "You're not allowed to lie to shops" act 2012? Wireless Telegraphy Act referred to earlier. You are not lying to the shop yoy are lying to a body with a statuary duty to collect the information demanded. It could, in fact in the event of a prosecution it would, be argued that you gave false information with intent to evade payment. In practical terms the requirement is largely superceded by the address data base so David can happily play silly buggers as much as he likes. However it is not clever for others on this group to boast about not paying their licence fee. Given I derive part of my income from it I have every incentive to shop them to the cops. -- Graeme Wall This address not read, substitute trains for rail Transport Miscellany at www.greywall.demon.co.uk/rail Photo galleries at http://graeme-wall.fotopic.net/ |

(My reference to it as an 'administrative entity' is perhaps potentially confusing, not least because the the "administrative county" died in legalese in 1974.) The same situation now exists with regards to Bedforshire and Cheshire. It's similar to the situation metropolitan counties are in - they continue to exist (e.g. Greater Manchester, Tyne & Wear etc), but they don't have a county council any more. |

There was one company I had recent online dealings with that didn't have any sort of London option at all - I'm quite sure a good many Londoners wouldn't be too sure of their 'historic' county, for example how many know exactly where ye olde dividing line between Kent and Surrey lay? I've got a broad idea, but that's only coz I've looked it up on maps of yore. Given that the post office doesn't pay any attention to the county, couldn't you fill in whatever you liked? tom -- Dreams are not covered by any laws. They can be about anything. -- Cmdr Zorg |
