I have 6 years until I have to decide. What will you be doing?

I too agree with starwell, whose comments are spot on!

I have been paying the BBC for 54 years since I had my own home at 18. I am still working part time and don't earn enough to pay income tax now but have paid buckets of it throughout my life. The TV licence is just another tax, like all the others: driving licences, passports, car tax, etc, except that it goes directly to the BBC to pay for ever decreasing quality programmes and huge wages for mediocre 'star' broadcasters.

So yes, Starwell. I echo everything you say. In 3 years I will qualify (my man being younger than me) and we will no longer pay the licence fee.

Whoopee!
