You need a license in Britain to have a TV? That’s weird.

I don't know if they still do it, but the used to have truck drive around looking for TV signal emissions from houses so they could bust unlicensed owners.

Sounds pretty Big Brother.

Weird rules require weird enforcement.

I think the license is in lieu of having to listen to commercials?
