CAN somebody out there tell me why I have to pay £12.12 per month direct debit for a TV license? To be quite honest I've never seen so much tripe on TV in all my life.
Most nights you get 'soaps' from 7pm through to 9pm. Give me a break, please! At least the missus is happy.
We get the odd documentary which I like, but not enough. Whatever happened to light entertainment? We used to expect rubbish in the summer because nobody watched television during light nights. We would look forward to autumn and winter because TV was 100% better.
We've now gone digital and got about 40 channels to watch with freeview. Do me a favour, 99% repeats they mean, and I had to buy a new TV to watch them. Pass me the Scotch please! It's enough to drive people down the pub, as well as round the bend.
The only good thing out of all this is I'm reading more books lately. But I still can't understand why I'm paying £12.12 per month for rubbish I don't want to watch!
Well, I've been wanting to get that off my chest for months, I feel better now, Thankyou.
