*gasps* shops at netto....no wonder you don't wanna pay for BBC, you must be
bloody skint! :-)

I kinda get your point though, but that's like saying you will require to
pay less council tax, because you intend to do some of what they provide for
you yourself.

Or, that because you only drive 5 miles a day, you won't want to pay as much
road tax as your neighbour who drives 50 miles each way in the same cc car.

The licence fee is worth it anyway, even if it is only to watch competing
channels shows, such as deal or no deal :-)
