Goddamn useless TV License people...


I tried to pay by debit card on their site, but there's a drop list for "Title:" which is a required field. And has nothing in it. I've tried on 3 PCs, in both IE and FF. Apparently some people see options, some don't. Link.

So, I saved the page, edited the HTML to include "Admiral", and submitted it, and it worked (Although it put me as "Mr."). Then, on page 3 it asks for a "Card Type", which is another empty box. And when I entered "' DROP * FROM users" there, it said my card number was wrong.

So I gave up and paid by phone. Useless cocks...

I ended up sorting out a direct debit by phone. You'd think the BBC would have sorted out a decent online system for paying seeing as they are always going on about "we will find you if you don't pay" in adverts. £11 a month is pretty steep for 2 terrestrial channels, digital channels and an ok web presence though.

The best bit is that it's still YOUR fault for not paying if their website is broke.

Same with South West Trains - their "revenue enforcement officers" are complete b******s at times. So what if the ticket machine is out of order and I had to get one at the end instead? "I'm sorry, you should've got off at the next stop to find a machine that worked..." [rolleyes]

The fact that non-UKers don't need to pay for BBC channels either annoys me [sad]

Are you taking the piss? Thats an absolute joke. This is why I refuse to get one and instead just use my TV to watch the same shows on DVD.
