One year I sent the buggers a photocopy of another cheque with a letter telling them that repeats got repeats, they weren’t very amused!
I moved soon after so never paid them anyway!
Spousal unit, who is a very proper gentleman, was absolutely horrifed that I refuse to pay and insisted, he paid them himself, I wasn’t going to, as he said he didn’t want me jailed.

if you think your repeats are bad try the USA! You can chant the scripts along with the actors! But at least you don’t have to pay. We have to anyway because we have no reception, mountains in the way, so we get to pay for cable for the repeats!

Who brought us Motty and Wogan, Radio 4 and 5 Live Extra? Test match Special, Johnners and Bearders, Dickie and Fred? You should be ashamed!
