some of you may remember the old t,v detector vans.checking on folks t,v licence.

well the tv detector van man knocked at a door and asked to see their t,v licence. the lady of the house was just on her way out, late for her work.

she told the t,v detector man "im in a desperate hurry to get to my work, im very late, my husband is in his bed after his night shift, his name is john, give him a shout, tell him to look in the dresser drawers on the left side of the bed, the third drawer down, in the corner under my underwear hell find the t,v licence."

so the t.v man shouts" john," wakes him up, asked for the t,v lincence he said "im sorry but i havent a clue where it is!!"

the t.v man then said "john, if you look in the dresser drawers at the left hand side of the bed, the third drawer down, in the corner, under your wifes underwear, you will find it there"

sure enough john finds it there, and shows it to the t,v detector man, "thats fine"says the t,v detector man, everything is in order.

then john sleepily,and suddenly thought for a minute,,,,,,then said to the t,v detector man,

my god , their some detector vans you have nowadays!!!!! ha ha,

the older members will get this, have a good day all jw

[peege in reply to socalgal]

haha, a TV licence is what we must have here if we own a television set or we can be fined.

We're lucky enough to have several BBC channels over here which have NO ADVERTISING!! Glorious.

Our licence fee goes towards the BBC purse. Approximately £12 a month.

Remember so well. Just married and moved into our first house a friend Geoff called in and asked if we had a licence for the old pye tv we had been given as the detector van was nearby. We unplugged it and got a licence the next day . Geoff wasn't so lucky the detector man called at his house while he was at ours his wife told him it was broke but it was still warm got his name in the local press when he was fined in court. A good turn gone wrong. Joyce
