Its not rude just all cost need to shown. its true you are are quite happy to say you pay no tv licence but happy for uk oaps older than 75 have to pay so can watch tv free from uk hope you enjoy your free tv

As previously stated. Read my post correctly I have mentioned taxes and legal costs. Tv licence issue for over 75s is a UK government issue. I decided to live in Spain and one benefit is not paying a uk tv licence fee. It don't mean I don't emphasise with pensioners that are forced to pay for it.

You don't get UK free view in Spain ..so having a free Spanish TV licence is no good to you if you can't speak Spanish as all the Channels are in Spanish so what's the big deal..some clown was on this forum last week from San Pedro Pinatar asking for advice on what TV aerial to buy to watch UK free view...in Spain.

Many years ago the Spanish governement tried to bring in a tv licence - the idea was rejected by the people, so there has never been one.

Sunnyspain, Reading through posts this morning. Wondering where you get your IPTV from? And do you get a large selection of channels? We’re paying €220 a year for one set .

Do you also enjoy your 'Free' tv licence here in Spain, lots of countries dont pay tv licences and i agree with sunnyspain, your comments did come across rude
