Another threatening letter

Capita, nee T.V Licencing have sent me yet another threatening letter. Discourteous at the very least, considering that, as I said a couple of months ago, I don't watch the telly and have no plans to either. Not in this lifetime anyway.

I have also provided that information to them, see T.V licence or no T.V licence but it doesn't stop them, they just carry on spewing out offensive garbage, on behalf of the BBC.

Time to forward it on to Zarin Patel, Chief Financial Officer of the BBC and let her deal with it. After all, I do believe that she had something to do with taking them on in the first place.

I wonder what chance there is of her doing anything useful about it. I'll keep you posted

The power cut that we suffered over Christmas

Here in Hillswick, in Northmavine at the north end of Mainland, Shetland, UK, the electricity went off at 14.45 on Christmas Day and came back on the next day, Boxing Day at 16.50. That is twenty-six hours and five minutes with no electricity.

I wonder how many Christmas dinners were destroyed here but more to the point, I wonder how many people complained about the power cut and therefore got the same cheque for £54.00, through the door today as I did.

I bet that I'm the only man that did it. I bet that I'm the only man that knows that if everyone complains the service will be improved and the power cuts will stop happening.

But I'll also bet that they haven't stopped talking about it yet. It's amazing how long you can spend talking about the results of doing bugger all.

SNP RSS feed

Just to let all the folk who want the best for the Scottish nation know that there is now an RSS feed for the SNP on the left-hand side, just under the weather forecast. Feel free to use it anytime, for as long as you like, after all, that's what it's there for!!!

SNP

I've just joined up with the SNP and am proud to say that. When the vote is taken, what do you want the result to be, do you want to see Scotland continuing to pay more in than it gets back.

Oh, and do me a favour please. Tell Tony Blair that we want the oil fields that he stole in '99 back.

BBC Weather

Just stopped by the BBC Weather site and as usual it was tremendous - if you speak either English or Welsh. If you speak either Scots, Gaelic or Shetlandic, and they are all areas covered by the BBC, then you're buggered. You can sit and look at the forecast, all the nice pictures etc and understand nothing.

Has the head of the BBC got a taff on the side because I can't think of any other reason to provide purely Welsh if English is not your first language.

Another reason that the telly licence is a waste of time.

Hillswick today

Hillswick today has been absolutely beautiful - mild, still and the sun shining on us at approximately 1.00 in the afternoon. What more can you ask for at this time of the year, apart, of course, from Ms Patel at the BBC getting rid of Capita. The Scottish North Harassment Division of T.V Licensing, nee Capita, have let me down again and not inflicted themselves, legally or otherwise, upon me because I don't have a telly licence. Wonder why that is. Not quite up to standard if they don't pester you and inflict themselves upon you with absolutely no justifiable reason whatsoever, is it?

TV Licence Man fiddling about

I found this on Youtube. It certainly goes to show how little the T.V License man knows about his job. I wonder if he can play the fiddle and fiddle about at the same time.
