英国人那些不交电视费的奇葩理由
A homeowner said they did not think they had to pay their TV licence fee
because they claimed their pet was related to one of the Queen's dogs.
Other excuses given to officials by evaders last year included watching a stolen
TV set, TV Licensing said.
More than 400, 000 people were caught watching TV without a licence in
2012.
UK residents are legally required to have a licence if they watch or record TV
at the same time as it is broadcast or could face a fine of up to ￡1, 000.
A colour TV licence costs ￡145.50 while a black-and-white licence costs ￡49.
In January, TV Licensing revealed that more than 13, 000 households across
the UK were still using black-and-white television sets.
Excuses for non-payment given last year included:
my dog, which is a corgi, was related to the Queen's dog so I
didn't think I needed a TV licence.


allowance I receive for him? He watches it so he should pay.


in six months and won't get value for money.

afford to buy a TV licence.
could not pay for my TV licence because the Olympic torch was coming
down my road and I could not get to the shop as the road was too busy.
