    People who clean the rear number plates on their cars. Thus pandering to the 'Big Brother' regime of camera's and speed control.
    Why would you do it?
    Yeah yeah.. because you are 'supposed to' 'just in case you get pulled over and told off by the big scary policeman' (hardly see any around these days..)
    Blind obedience I tell ya. Anyone else know what the hell I'm talking about?

    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    Got a TV License? Think it outrageous that it is the ONLY civil debt that is enforced as a crime?

    Loathe the bias of the trendy BEEB in everything from politics, social issues to environmentalism?

    Yup, agreed too. And No, I don't pay the 'enforced' TV licence. I choose not to have BBC's product. Its a free world
    Haven't had one for years.
    Solidarity brother.

    I thought you had to have a TV license in the UK if you have a device capable of receiving TV programs ? No ?

    It is specific to watching output live (not live output). I.e. you can only watch recordings licence free.

    Correct. However, I even question the validity of this.
    E.g I pay subscription to MotoGP.com to watch the racing. They own the rights. The footage. Dorna own the broadcast rights. WTF have the BBC got to do with saying I cant watch something I have paid for with another company??
    Surely this country will wake up to this BS soon??

    Damn right dude.
    It's a business. Certainly to milk the motorist. Certainly not for 'safety reasons' Safety cameras my arse.
    Whether they sell the details I couldn't say, but I never put it past them..

    Ah, different kettle of fish. We as humans do 'need' rules. Otherwise its very quickly anarchy. So, I was on about not cleaning rear number plates. Some of those do not even (while they are at it..) clean the rear lights.... Now, I clean my lights on my car regularly, because.. well.. it's obvious right? Same as a stop sign, drive on the left..

    I don't need a fish kettle because I wouldn't steam fish, I'd rather bake it so I'd use a tray. That's OK, yes ? My choice, yes ?
