The TV Licensing And Unwarranted Postal Harassment Company has done something right. They sent me a letter which contained (a) a postage-paid return envelope, and (b) a form with a space at the bottom for me to fill in the following tie-breaker: "I do not need a TV license because ...". They didn't say how many words I was limited to ;) so I kept it simple: "I do not watch TV".
Hopefully what I win is for them to piss off and leave me alone, w00t.
