Why is it that most country folk I know dont pay the TV licence?

gsxr1

And everyone else does.

Most lads (i know)from the rural areas , 1 off houses in the country side have never payed . Ever.

then that Gobsh1te from the post office is around here if we are 1 month late in Naas.

Is it because they dont have a phone book with addresses. ?

Is if because they are afraid they will get lost in the sticks?

Is it lazyness???

Im getting well pissed off paying for RTE when I dont watch it. while others have never payed a penny.


WHY Mr post office you fecker.

Tar.Aldarion

PirateShampoo

I assume you've carried out a proper survey to be able to come out with such a sweeping statement, countryside versus rural, or is it just the culchies that you hang out with that don't pay their dues.

Oh_Noes

No one pays it anywhere, and if you believe that people do, then they've got you

I disagree, I don't notice any difference between urban and rural areas with regard to a TV license. Enforcement might be easier in urban areas due to a concentrated population.

Liam Byrne

Urban areas also (usually) subscribe to Sky or UPC, which means there's proof that they have a TV.

My address is:

Name,
General Area,
Nearest Town,
Co. Wexford.

No-one but the postman has the skills required to track me down.

Non-country folk will do the worst, thinking that the <Nearest Town> being in my address means I actually live there.

Their cute fcuker's out the country, probably riding your girl on the QT aswell.
Laughing at you, behind your back, the bastards.................

Or maybe they just don't have televisions.

IT'S EXTORTION JOE, EXPECTING ME TO PAY MONEY FOR THIS STUFF WHEN THEY SHOULD BE OUT THERE DEALING WITH THE HEADSHOPS JOE.

lost in my own head

Moving out to the country soon, might get away with not paying it. The place I'm in right now is surrounded by trees and high walls, it's a new estate and because I'm only renting can't really go to the neighbours and ask to cut their trees, any way because of all that I can't get any channels not even the rte, had to buy the licence, cause the idiot inspector wouldn't leave us alone, I've three kids, spend about 50 euro a week on dvds for them and myself (more in the winter as they can't spend as much time outside). and my tv licence was up for renewal recently, so I had to buy a new licence even though I can't watch the tv and moving out of here in two weeks. How the hell does that work?

rossie1977

you need electricity before you need a tv licence, there ain't any out the country

My TV licence is up for renewal this month, and I will be sending back a letter refusing to pay until Anthony Tohill is fired from the Sunday Game due to his conflict of Interest.

We pay ours and are subscribed to sky,and the fella has never came out here once!
Although it could be the fact that I live in the middle of nowhere and there's only about 10 people living within 3 miles of me.:rolleyes:

A big IRA man from my locality in Mayo held a gun up to an ESB Engineer hanging onto a ladder on a pole about to cut his electricity because he wouldn't pay for it. His words "Either you climb down that ladder, or I'll be shooting you off it".

Said man has never paid his bill since and continues to have free electricity.

What I love is that fact that most houses out here in the country have more electronics and gizmos than those in the town hah.

Cept ****ty broadband...really bad broadband...well not every country place has broadband and not every town has good broadband.

I can remeber in first year a guy trying to mock me because I live in the country and my dads a farm.He kept going on saying how Im a sheep shagger and that I never shower.I made point to him that he couldnt have a shower in his house either so because the cardboard would melt((as in he lives in a cardboard box)).

Town N Country are just same,cept the knackers our here have funny accents while the ones in the town has ones whcih you cant understand.

Erm back to point...I LOL'd when my friend told me a tv licence inspector called to his house once :pac:.Asked the mother If we had one she said we did but then my dad said we didnt out of principal...Im so confused

gsxr1

the bollocks was out here sniffin around today again. I have the laptop and myself dug in behind the sofa. He will never get me

Its because they never paid. The list of homes without TV licences is actually the list of homes that never renewed their licence, never pay and you'll never have to, pay once and you'll pay til' your pension..

thetonynator

One off houses never get checked by the inspectors. But if you pay it once, you're fcked cos they have a record of you having a house and a tv.

Once they get you once your fecked.

I was moving house one year to leixlip.

The fecker came over to me. I had a big TV in my arms, in my driveway .(I swear to god) and asked if I had a ticket for that.

No getting around him that time.

jmcwobbles

I live in Dublin and have never had the TV license guy come anywhere near me... til yesterday! Just moved into an apartment in Ballsbridge and the bloody doorbell rang last night, and I answered it like an eeeejit and lo and behold, I have a month's notice to get the licence. BAAASTAAARDS!!

GrumPy

Tell them you dont have a tv and refuse them entry to your home.

Problem solved.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

I was in an apt in Galway and we had heard from the neighbours that they tend to call around quite a lot. We just never answered the door.
Seriously, who doesn't ring you first these days. The only people who ring your doorbell are Jehovahs, knackers trick or treating 4 months earl and TV licence inspectors

jmcwobbles

I live on the ground floor though and the TV is clearly visible through the sitting room window

Meh, tell them it's their imagination and to kindly get out yer garden.

I've said it before - rig up a camera on to your front door then when mr licence inspector comes to the door and rings the bell, you can turn your 50 inch plasma to the camera channel, and watch the bollix stand outside your house til his balls turn blue, while all the time you sink deeper into your leather recliner laughing at him - in 50 inch widescreen glory!!!!

Yeah good thinking "TV? What TV? Okaaay loooony inspector man..."

In fairness I deserve it for (a) answering the stupid doorbell in the first place and (b) giving him my real name! When you're put on the spot you just turn into an honest idiot! :rolleyes:
