Apologies for the lateness of my responses guys, been working late these last few days and only just catching up.
Righty, here's my replies hopefully in their respective order , firstly , NO I don't use any bbc services, that's out of personal choice, and yes WE as a family do stick to that religiously . We steer clear of anything bbc related, secondly I don't actually have any tv receiver as in a sky box, free view box or any medium that can be used to receive tv broadcasts , because my beliefs are strong and my partner completely agrees we find alternative means of viewing media , we have a broadband connection solely to provide netflix streaming through appletv , this satisfies our children's entertainment, and our own through films etc that is part of our subscription package.
I don't take kindly to the assumption that I am evading anything related to the bbc, we can actually survive in our lives without it,,so as a result of our strong objections to even using any bbc related material I feel that my defense is valid and legitimate.
My point of the original post was that in the past I have had a tv, and a license, and it's been one of those things that have been part of our culture socially for a very long time, haveing been bbc free and satellite tv free for almost a year now we gained some perspective and can make clear decisions on our non reasons to have bbc .
I am no criminal if I don't do anything that's against the law, although the general consensus is that people always assume the opposite just because it goes against the convention of expectation we have of other people.
Why is it that when someone does not have or use something through personal choice that suddenly one is castigated as a criminal ?
Because of my experience with tv licensing in the past, and dealt with their henchmen knocking on the door I can defend my opinions from dealing with the more intimidating side of the enforcement structures that the bbc employ.
We can live without the bbc, and that's how we roll. I shall however apologise in case anyone has misinterpreted my op , but as mentioned in my first post " it's a subject that stirs opinion " , not meant with any argument in mind, but it would be nice if people actually realized that there are still some honest people in this chaotic world we live in.
Anyway..........
How's everyone ?
Andy.
