For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.How odd. I wouldn't be at all pleased with some one like that knocking at my door. When I gave up the TV license I wrote the appropriate letters to the appropriate people and I suppose as with most things in life you tend to be treated by others as you treat them?

This has been on the News and in News reports
"We will now commence a formal consultation period with employees and their nominated trade union representatives to ensure that all possible options are explored."
The CWU said some jobs will also be lost among field operations, adding that some work work was being transferred to India.
National officer Andy Furey said: "This is devastating news for workers in Bristol, Glasgow and elsewhere and a terrible way to start 2012. It's a callous act by Capita management who have put commercial interests ahead of jobs and people.
"It appears that Capita has sacrificed the livelihoods of people in Bristol, Glasgow and elsewhere as cost savings to win the BBC TV Licence contract, rather than finding legitimate savings elsewhere."

It is competitive tendering. The Government employ a company to collect the licence fee. The Government (on behalf of the taxpayer) wants to pay as little as possible for this work to be done, so they go for a collection company that supply the lowest bid. This company also want to make a certain amount of profit, so if their wage bill goes up, they need to cut jobs to maintain the level of profit they want.
Not very much to do with the BBC. Nothing to do with India. Just RebelSouls banging the same drum.

"Photographing / Videoing of an EO during a Visit
7.2 There is no law prohibiting an individual from taking either photographs or video footage of an EO conducting a visit on private property. Accordingly, the EO should not, under any circumstances, confront or try to prevent an occupant who wishes to do so.
If an EO finds themselves in a situation where they are being photographed or videoed they must remain calm and continue to conduct themselves in a professional manner and ensure that they walk away from the visit as soon as they become aware that they are being filmed or photographed.
All instances of filming/photography must be notified to a manager as soon as
possible, and a full report provided."
