The TV Licensing people here in the UK have just released the list of the top 10 excuses that they have recieved this year for why people don't have a TV licence:
1. "A pigeon fell down the chimney and broke the aerial so I have bad reception."
2. "My 11-year-old son must have bought the TV during the night. It wasn't there when I went to bed."
3. "My payment card's been stuck in the washing machine so I can't pay."
4. "I've not paid due to my shop only accepting £5 and £10 notes and I haven't got any of those."
5. "I've not been making payments as a baby magpie flew into my house and I had to stay in and feed it until it was ok."
6. "I only use the TV to keep the horses company and one of them is blind so I should only pay half if I have to pay at all."
7. "I can't get the TV out of the box - can you help me?"
8. "My dog watches it when I'm at work to keep him company - not me."
9. "My mum told me to tell you she's not in."
10. "I've not bought a licence as I dreamt I didn't have to and the saying is you've to follow your dreams."
