Worst TV Licence Excuses

9th Feb 2010 04:44am

I decided to have a look around on the internet to find the worst (and some funny) TV Licence excuses when people who haven't got an up-to-date TV Licence get caught.

• My dog watches it while I'm at work to keep him company - not me.

• The subtitles on my TV are set to French so I'm not paying a UK tax for something I can't read.

• My wife has her hair done twice a week, so we find it difficult to pay.

• I haven't renewed my licence because my wife flushed it down the toilet, along with my wallet.

• My husband has just spent 3,000 pounds on this massive flatscreen digital TV so we can't possibly afford a licence.

• I couldn't make my last payment as my baby was sick on my shoulder and I didn't want to go to the shop smelling of sick because the guy I fancy works there.

• I have not been making payments because a baby magpie flew in to my house and I have had to stay in to feed it.

• I [he] forgot to pay as my [his] girlfriend had hit me [him] over the head with a hammer.

• I'm not paying for a politically partisan media controller when I don't watch anything it produces.

• I want the license abolished cos I really think a media completely controlled by right-wing plutocrats will provide me with better programming and accurate news.

• I was stuck to the sofa thanks to Derren Brown's show on Friday night.

• Because my [her] cat had got sick down the back of the set and blew it up.

TV Licensing have spelt my name wrong...

24th Aug 2009 15:32pm

Well that's good isn't it! I specifically say on the phone to TV Licensing when I called them up to say I want a TV License that my surname is "HAY" and spelt it with each letter too, "H", "A", "Y". What's so difficult about that? Yet still when I finally got my TV Licensing billing card about 30 minutes ago, my name is spelt "Dale Haye" ... grrr!! Then when I checked the information booklet that came with it, it says that if there is a change of name, then it'll appear on my account and card when the next one is issued - so that's March 2010! So for the next 6 months or so I've gotta be "Dale Haye" and not "Dale Hay". Grrr.
