Aye up, me again. Here comes trouble.
"An annual standard colour TV licence currently costs £174.50/year and since 2020 most over-75s no longer get their Licences for free. "However, there are a few exceptions, including if you're claiming Pension Credit (either Guarantee or Savings credit), in which case you're entitled to a free TV Licence each year." And it comes as it's just been announced the cost will rise to £180.
Article in Birmingham Live. Don't bother to read it. It's full of adverts.
This is just another one of their tricks to reel people in. They are telling you that you may get the licence free if you are on pension credits. So, people apply for pension credits in case they qualify. By doing that they are admitting that they watch the telly. Aha, let's see if this person is already watching the telly, let's see if they are paying for a licence.
It's a roundabout way of getting you to admit you have a telly and that you are watching it. Offer something free and you've got them.
I have no need to claim for pension credits, and even if they give me a TV licence I wouldn't want one. For those who are struggling to cover their costs, claim if you need to.
Catch ya later. Toodle pip. ilona
we do have a tv and hubby uses it a lot. I am happy with my laptop. However, I do like Netflix, Britbox and Prime to watch certain shows, all that cost money. If something happens to hubby will I continue having a tv in the house.......probably not, will just watch things via the internet.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch a lot of telly when I was a teenager and into my twenties, but when I set foot into the big wide world I realised there was better things to do than rush home to watch something on a screen.

The TV is one of the first things I'd get rid of if it was up to me. It's pretty much a load of filth and foul language.
