no lawns there, most front doors open straight on to the street where hes allowed to be. hes not NOT allowed to look in the window.... but hes NOT allowed to use what he SEES through the window as well 'probably cause' (for a bill for a tv license) . so he just marks down on his little pad 'not home' and knocks next door... or this funny shit happens and us goats get entertained talking about it for a couple of days.
not kidding this shit is just funny cross cultural shit to me, ive actually lived it :P
he has to be able to actually prove, that you have that tv, plugged into an antenna, that he has to have seen, and not seen any satellite or cable dishes, somehow see in through the window, and SEE them actively watching BBC1 or BBC2. the simple answer to em is 'ive got sky' 'its not plugged into anything' or 'its called a fookin pleesteetion ye fookin twonk' (quite literally my memory of the ex sister in law flashing fat ugly tits through the window at em. ew.)
just for the record, that guy can sit outside the front of the house and demand all he likes, he does actually have that right. but in the case of tv licenses not only is there literally nothing else he can do and no one else to call who will do anything but laugh, but unless he scarpers pretty fucking quickly and STOP yelling out to neighbors about about 'tv licenses' hes going to end up with things thrown at him from hidden places, like buckets of water, people accidentally waving hoses in the wrong direction, a couple of skateboarding kids breeching their ASBO orders to fuck with him.
while hes yelling everyone else is making sure theyre not in the front room when he knocks, or making sure he sees them leaving (uk housing not like us/aus/canada/nz - if youre bashing on one door, in certain places, anything up to about 50 other houses can directly see and hear what and why, and theres no front yard runoff private/public space, your front door is usually right on the street. especially on estates.
either way he aint calling the cops. theyll laugh too and tell him to move on before he gets sacked for not marking more addresses off his clipboard and earning his hourly. he will get bored, move on, whine at his boss, and get laughed at again.
theyre like the UK version of mormons.... and no one but grandma ever pays. (tv licenses in australia went out in 1960 or something, we had zero cable tv until the 90s/00s)
whoevers filming it is flat out fucking with this old guy who is doorknocking to add a few pennies to his pension fund :P thanks Jobcenter!

watch the clip i posted. remember how monty python took the piss out of trannies in a movie 40 years ago? yeah they made fun of 'have you go' a loicense for...' - in pretty much what i posted.
get your dog license, put a line through 'dog' and scribble 'unmarked gravel' - job done. Annni further keweeeeestions can be forwardeeeeeed toooooooooooo... Theeee Minister of 'ousinge, an neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew it is spelled correctleeeeee.
(then watch the start of it which takes the piss out of DMV type beauracratic shite you get 40-50 years later on)
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan cmon now. its not some big black bastard walking into my house, sitting on my couch and expecting me not to end his life then and there... its an OAP (old and putrid... i mean... old age pensioner, sorry) getting a few extra quid from jobcentre for being the nosey little fucking cunt he always was. hes essentially a harmless old man in the twilight of his 'for the thousandth taaaaaaaaaame, mind your own fookin business reg' career... leave him be. poor old bugger is about to fade away, but at least its not on a street corner.
screaming as loud as possible "why are you here supporting peadophiles? I don't want to support peadophiles! Please leave me alone!" would work nicely, especially if you are a woman. It wouldn't be wrong either (slander) because they literally are collecting money for peadophiles.
Sadly, if she had BBC on her TV and the peadophile sympathiser clocked it through the window shes paying the fine. Best to just not watch BBC its shit anyway.

This zog bot could smell her hesitation/ lack of conviction straight away, she needed to be more firm and tell . It is only used for streaming - it does not have BBC on it because it Never receives state broadcasting as it is only set to aux input for streaming. These zogs are the worst.
only england still has a tv license. once upon a time it paid for the BBC/ABC/CBC where in commonwealth nations radio and tv government funded stations (same over here in Australia) but when Ads and alternative revenue came in, it just became yet another way for the government to pump cash into what is now nothing but the ministry of information.
France is canning it, Italy too, only Germanys is still around with 9 billion € and its not going anywhere, I mean wehre else in the job market will you earn 100% of your salary as a pension and that salary is up too 500k.
Ministry of information that also is a sweet ride, hell I would keep it around if I had a shot to have payday like that.

Yup. Probably admitted to being a person named so and so. The only response to any of his questions should be "I am not authorized to answer questions". And if the trespasses then say "you are not welcomed here, leave now, do not trespass on this land".
these guys are basically the government equivalent of erectile dysfunction. its there, it has a purpose which does work if push comes to shove, but most people ignore it entirely or laugh and get on with their day. theyre less of a pain in the ass than your average jehovas witness (who will knock on your door 5-6 times more per year than this old fart)
not kidding, you could set up your tv behind you in the doorway, with a BBC watermark and ads, open the door wide, tell him with a straight face 'i dont have a working tv' and when he points and opens his mouth to say something, slowly close the door in his face, and go about your day. simple and elegant solution. and that old man would get that.... ooooooooooh a lot. "Now, Reginald, you noted here 'has a tv, and watches bbc... how do you know this?" "Wew... cos when 'ee opened ve front door roigh...." "yeees" "eee ad ve tv set up roigh..." "yeeees" "in ve..." "yeeeees.." "uh" regs boss waits till reg opens his mouth to say something, and slowly closes the door in his face... like the 'bbc watcher'
LITERALLY DOING THE JOB IN THERE IN THE HOLE WAGGLING AROUND INNEFECTIVELY - TV LICENSE DEPARTMENT IS GOVERNMENT WHISKEY DICK - taxpayer dollars at work but its more amusing than the shit stuff, and the stuff we pay in taxes that MEANT to be funny.
they absolutely do understand how fuckin dumb that one is. that woman aint scared in the least, shes fucking with the old guy just like the rest of em do.
Alright then seen as you don't really seem to get how the sytem works here she probbably sighned up to a connected sytem like BBC Iplayer that by the law needs a licence to view at home. I paid my licence once when I was living with others and never afterwords and as long ans I don't tune my tellies or torrent recent enough products that can flag me I can never be caught. Granted I just end up watching anime most of the time but I've never had to deal these unfortunate collectors of tax.
youre either gonna get jumped because they think youre armed, jumped and sectioned in which case at least you get a warm bed for the night (but might be tied down) or they shake their heads, go 'this cunts mad' and walk away.
I know this is a meme, but I'm 20 years without one and I've never had a visit. Never had angry mail. Nothing. Bought two TVs in that time frame, nothing. The TVs are strictly for my PC and my kids game.
I'm not the only one.
Maybe they target middle class English as an easy mark?
