Yesterday I bought a TV licence
So today the prof is watching the Tour de France live on ITV.
We have never owned a TV set or watched live television in our house, and after it was decided that we didn't have to have a licence to listen to radio only, we have not contributed to BBC funding.
With the First Night of the Proms happening tonight, and our government determined to undermine the BBC and all it stands for, I decided the moment had come to shell out even if I don't have to.
I took the decision unilaterally, despite a certain sniffiness on the part of the prof, but I notice he is now embracing his new found freedom!
