TV licensing...
Re: TV licensing...
Nope.
Never received a replacement TVL either.
At this moment, we have nothing other than our bank account details and we can see that the cheque has been cashed.
It'll be interesting to see what happens in late March next year.
If they send a reminder to me personally ....... they can get stuffed.
Mrs Mick F can go through the system again ..................... but only if she want to.
From what I know, iPlayer is on for maybe an hour three or four times a week. She's not watched anything live.
Netflix gets used more than iPlayer.
TVL isn't worth a jot IMO.

Gonna be exciting for you sitting there in silence, maybe you'd better get a big tick tick clock to listen to!
Re: TV licensing...
Yep.
Many things to do instead of the Goggle Box.
Heard it said years ago, that watching telly was "sucking on the glass nipple".
Just finished the prequel to Pillars of the Earth. The Evening and the Morning - Ken Follet.
Not a bad read, but the story leaps from highs to lows all the way through. Roller coaster emotional ride, and it ends on a sudden high with no sort of finish as if he ran out of ideas.

I also have a bike. Go walking. Fly fishing. A piano. A radio. Fall asleep early most nights. The TV has stood in the corner with about an hour max of use per week because it was there or Mrs Ojw watches some Jane Austen dvd.
I was in my mid 30s before I ever had a tv so have never really got into it.

Re: TV licensing...
I'm the same but I don't know why. Some of those I read in earlier life had a huge influence on me, although that may or may not have been for the best.
It didn't even occur to me that somewhere down the line I'd stopped reading fiction until I realised that the books I was borrowing out of the library were all non-fiction.
Same even with TV, not having had a TV set for ~20 years and hardly ever having been to the cinema in that time either, or hired DVDs or subscribed to Netflix or whatever. I watch fictional stuff and can't suspend disbelief - to me they're actors acting in a film or a series or a play, directed by a director, written by a writer and scored by a musician. I get absorbed in the technicalities of how it's acted, directed, written and scored but that's about it.
Sad, huh?
Re: TV licensing...
Not fiction.
Some fictional places, but factual history plus real factual historical characters.

Read it.
Read Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, and the prequel Evening and the Morning.
Fiction maybe, but with fact in there with real factual history.

Re: TV licensing...
Historical novels can give a person a distorted idea of history depending on the authors bias. Hence actual historians spend years learning how not to be bias.

Re: TV licensing...
Morning all, I'm currently reading a book that is surely hard to categorize? "Riding in the Zone Rouge" by Tom Isitt!
It is in effect a personal tour record, but also an attempt to inform folk about a really brutal cycle race.
The Circuit des Champs de Bataille (the Tour of the Battlefields), was an event that took place in 1919, racing through the hell which remained after WW1.
As I say hard to categorize, but so far it is well worth reading it! As Ialready have a deep interest in WW1 matters I feel it was a good find. MM

Re: TV licensing...
I would ask for a TV licence refund if I was one of the million who live in the area served by the Bilsdale transmitter on the north yours moors. TV and radio down indefinitely following the fire.
