We pay our television liscenses to be entertained, yet with all this uproar regarding phoneline scams do you think we have the right to be compensated in some way?
Basically, we’re paying to be conned. If we ordered from mail order catalogue and the goods were faulty or the goods provided weren’t the ones ordered then we’d have the right to be reimbursed.
What are your views?
No, you’re paying because you want to win some money, and along with tens of thousands of others each day, have no chance to do so- just like the quiz channels with ridiculous answers- there’s always some mug who’ll have a go!
And correct me if Im wrong but you pay your Tv licence for BBC and its services- ITV and the rest are self funded through advertising revenue and investments and overseas sales. As most of the telephone premium line issues have been with ITV, Channel 4 and cable/SKY channels, its not the fault of the BBC (except Blue Peter and the cooking one).
You havent ordered anything, you’ve gambled and lost. Just like the Grand National- I gambled £22 on 11 horses for the whole Slayer household n didnt win a penny- thats how the cookie crumbles, I cant ask for my money back cos my horses were sh/yte or the pundits told me to back the wrong horse or the bookies were wrong cos the favourite fell at the first fence!
You pays yer money n takes yer chance
