TV License

I don't know if you're aware of this, but in the UK we have to buy a licence to watch television.

This was established eons ago in the developmental stages of television broadcasting, but has managed to stick around in the UK. It gives us the BBC (which I'm all for) and other supposedly quality broadcasting, but at the end of the day you're still paying for a license to watch television.

Worse still, the prices for them seem to be inflating faster than inflation.
At least we get BBC, I suppose.
