thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,480 Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 I’ve seen some things on YouTube on how to deal with the tv license people if they knock your door, basically don’t engage into any conversation with them is the best, just say not today thank you and close the door in there face 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can have what you want,just don't tell them you watch live TV. We have sky, but use the sky box to get access to apps like Netflix, we also have sky broadband so that's why we have sky. Cancel your license and fill in the online declaration , they won't bother you for 2 years 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If some silly cnut knocks on your door, go back to first rule ignore. If they don't know your name and you ignore everything and don't admit to watching the telly there's fek all they can do 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
