Should the cost of a license be proportional to the size of you television?

[sandyRoe]

The people watching giant plasma screens get more for their money than people like me who only have a portable. Why shouldn't I pay less?

[NazNomad]

... because you'd pay less, then go out and buy a 60'' LCD telly.

What a ridiculous question, sorry.

[sandyRoe]

Pinkilady, that's a good idea. I never thought of that.

[milly143]

I can't work out of this is a serious question or a cheeky one.

Either way, i'll agree for now. Until I go shopping in the sales after xmas and get myself a nice big LCD.

[Buenchico]

Oooh, I like the idea!

I normally watch telly on the little 4" screen of my old Sony Video Walkman, which sits here on my desk. Occasionally though I use my 'big' telly, which is a 14" Sony Trinitron (£5 from an auction room).

Your scheme definitely appeals to me, SandyRoe ;-)

[4getmenot]

not really you still see the same

[Postdog]

reminds me of the pole tax joke. I'd be due a rebate.

[Buenchico]

A valid observation, Doc!

[sandyRoe]

It's late. That's my excuse for the ess where the see should be

[sandyRoe]

But if I only had a B+W set I'd get a reduction in the licenCe. Why not for a 14" portable?

[starone]

Do you have to have a licence if you are watching tv on your mobile phone, some phones have that facility now haven't they?

I'm not bothered as found out last week because I live in sheltered housing I don't have to have a licence of my own. The housing association sorts it out and it costs £7.50 a year for each flat. Result!!
