TV Licence - If I have one does it not cover anywhere i watch TV?
Say for instance if my local sports club, work, working mens club etc didnt have a tv licence surely if the patrons, employees do etc then that should be enough! Why is this not the case? Why should the licence fee be paid twice? If we pay the licence fee shouldnt we be able to see the yearly accounts and therefore see how much of it goes on wages?!!!! I wonder what European LAw has to say about the validity and legality of charging a licence fee in the UK?

Agree with everything you say, but that's not what the law says. The licence is for the location, e.g. one licence will cover all TVs in your house for all the occupants, but if one of those occupants is a student, and they take a TV to their university digs during term time, they need a licence there. Also, even weirder, every hotel room needs a licence.

The premises are licensed not the person or tv set.

Oh get over it. A TV licence covers you in your home. End of.
Of course you can see the annual accounts - call the BBC and ask them.

Chill out man, you've got a bee in your bonnet and no mistake!

A TV Licence covers one address, not a person. The up-side is that you do not have to buy a separate licence for everyone who lives in your house, the landlord in your sports club doesn't have to check everyone who goes there & watches TV has one, etc. If you think about it I think it makes far more sense to licence the address (anyone can watch here) rather than the person (you can watch anywhere).

You can see the BBC's accounts and annual report online at their website. Knock yourself out I'm sure it's an interesting read!

It is obviously fine by European law otherwise the govermnment would not be able to do it!

Personally I think £100 a year (between the 3 of us living in my house) is a reasonable fee to pay for lots of very good TV programmes (shown without adverts), several radio stations (again without adverts) and a cracking website.

A TV Licence is valid at one address although it also allows you to use a portable TV with internal batteries.

The Licence is a form of taxation. EC law allows member states to set their own taxes. The only controls are on VAT and that's because the EC gets a rake off.

Everything we spend finishes up as someone else's wages or investment income. You might have to go back through a large number of manufacturing cycles, but eventually you come back to raw materials that are dug out of the ground.

Your licence covers YOUR TV - the TV's you watch away from home will have their own licences, paid for, undoubtedly, with the money you use to buy your drinks, to pay your membership & to use the facilities the clubs/pubs provide. We all end up paying 3-4 times for things we should take for granted.

BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE YOUR PLACE OF RESIDENCE , NOT ANYWHERE YOU HAPPEN TO BE WATCHING TV.

Its just for one house.Unless of course you are a student when you need to have your own one.Talk about a ripoff.

In the words of the 70's/80's tv programme, Why Don't U - "Why don't U, Why don't U, Why don't U - just switch off the television set and go do something less boring instead?"
