I hope you packed some spare pants.

I hope you packed some spare pants.

I did thankfully! 1st time to Michigan, reminded me a lot of home to be honest!
Thought it was a bit strange by boss to send me for 1 day, kinda figured it would turn out to be much different and I wasn't wrong so packed accordingly but I did forget to pack some teabags!

What did you do to piss them off so much they bought you tickets to watch Bolton?

Getting home from work to a surprise visit from the TV licensing people,letting them into the flat,letting them have a look around and then laughing at them because I haven't got a TV,they've been told I haven't numerous times,asked them whether they would piss off and leave me alone now? They said they would.
Result little man 1-big corporate bully 0
And they trekked all the way from Stoke to mid Wales to prove me a liar

 

[Paul]

Do they still have the TV detector vans then ????

 

[The Bear]

You don't have to let them in your house at all, even if they claim to have a warrant. It's a civil issue (Capita are a private company) not a criminal one so you can just tell them to fuck off.

 

[Local Wolf]

Do they still have the TV detector vans then ????

Still? I've never seen one in my life and neither has anyone I've ever known.

All bullshit scare tactics.

I have never seen you, nor any of my friends, family or work colleagues haven't either.
By your logic..........................................

ps. the vans were quite prevalent in the 70 / 80's

 

[Tredman]

Its a load of shite - TVs are receivers not tramsitter, wtf could they actually 'detect'

FWIW its done now on reporting of who buys a new TV by Currys, Argos etc

 

[Keef]

I know all this,but just wanted to prove I hadn't a tv because they've been calling me a liar for months

 

[Wombat del combate]

Good job it wasn't a cat detector van.
