We've recently had 6 weeks of illegal viewing. For some reason we didn't get a paper reminder, nor an emailed one ( not that we'd chosen to go paper-less) |

Currently petrol in France is £ 1.20 / litre and diesel £ 1.07 so any filling up to the brim is best done on the French side especially for diesel - ask any trucker. As in the UK it is much more expensive on the autoroute and cheaper at supermarkets. |

You only need to have a TV license if you watch a "live" channel from BBC or ITV or anybody else. However if you restrict yourself to iPlayer NetFlix and so on you don't need a licence not even for "Peak Blinders" or "Corrie". Student's in uni. watching tv via their laptops all swear blind that they never watch "live" TV so they don't buy a license. |

Is that over there or over here? I have never driven abroad but thought that people tried to fill up in France because it was cheaper. |

France used to have both TV licence and car tax. Both were scrapped years ago |

If the bbc went commercial, the licence fee might be removed/reduced, |

The over 75 free licence is valid for the complete year the over 75 person lived in the house, even if they only lived there part of that year. That is when the person dies, I am not sure what happens with divorce etc presumably the licence goes with the person. |

I've never understood why you need a licence to watch tv. :-S The way I see it, it's like having to have the governments permission to watch tv. |
