Too much to read here, did try.
'i do not have television, but i appreciate bbc radio'
Same here as Sandman but the BBC would rather keep sending letters asking why I have no licence. I've told them many times.
BBC radio is though getting worse. Used to be music during trailers now its often in programmes so they get switched off too. Guess the BBC don't care. I once suggested a voluntary fee for radio only, like Wikipedia. Wouldn't now.
