BBC do it again

To carry on tradition of knowing nothing about our sport, I have just read BBC sport to see what time the draw for the next round is, and the article says Castleford and Wakefield are both in it.
Could have sworn there was some sort of game between them at the weekend which certainly wasnt drawn.
Good old licence fee well spent yet again.

Rumour has it, some people pay a yearly sum to the BBC to pay for their services.
Years ago they threatened you with a fancy van parked outside your house if you didn't pay.
Not seen said van myself so it must be a myth like the end of the world or good referees.

saw in one of those vans yrs ago, 2 bench seats up each side, nowt else.

u just have to make sure u dont register a guarantee for a tv or any tv equipment at ur address.

not sure if sky are obliged to hand over customer lists though.

never had sky when i was in uk, but never paid licence fee. every letter in the bin...lol.

same with the poll tax malarky...lol. although south lanarkshire council were so stupid they used to come on a surprise visit wearing big jackets with the council logo on the front...lol. lost count of the number of names i gave as the "new tenant". lol.

does anyone on here pay the licence??

on that licence fee malarky.

in the 90's there was a case reported on the front page of the guardian, where the bbc relied in court on the word of 2 licence fee investigators that they "saw flickering images thru the window" of a suspected licence fee dodger. the proprietor said he didnt own a tv and what the investigators had seen was a candlelight. no mention of hi-tec vans, or fancy equiment, no mention of hand-held detectors able to tell what channel etc etc. just 2 donuts looking thru someones window and unable to tell the difference between a candle and a tv.

guy got off obviously...lol
