People who say the TV licence is a ripoff should be made to watch US cable TV. I nearly gouged my fucking eyes out with a rusty spoon.

The BBC produces the best quality TV programming on the planet

An awful lot of shite as well

I bought a set of "metal drill bits" really cheap. First time I tried to drill metal they just melted

But I couldn't argue with the fact that they were indeed, metal drill bits. Just not drill bits for metal

Not free, tax subsidised. It's about €120 per year paid through local taxes. If it had the number of ads that cable has, nobody would watch it lol

Where I am it's required by law, but it only costs about €30 per month

Growing up in the 70s I first noticed it on Stevie Wonder's I Just Called

That was a maaaassive hit so I wonder if that caused an uptick in the use

Dunno where you are but most countries I've visited in Europe have hundreds of free TV channels broadcast over the air. Minimal ads because a lot of the channels are tax subsidised, or like the UK, a loicense innit

Where I am, you get a TV streaming box from your ISP for a few euros, and streaming is free for about 200 channels; ad breaks are around one minute long every 30 minutes

I get most of my stuff from 1337x but fuck me, it's just all Hallmark TV films and wrestling series now!

Edit - sorry I'm not actually living in the UK; I fell asleep and missed the answers lol Thanks everyone, I'll do a bit more investigation into your suggestions
