@Obelixx your first sentence implies frustration with my post. It's disappointing you feel that way, but "not letting things go" (also known as "a discussion") is the way people generally learn about other views. The rest of your post seems to misunderstand my genuine enquiry, I suspect you haven't read my 3 or 4 previous posts. At minimum, your comment that "Britbox doesn't work in the EU" is wrong - the BBC is using it as the content delivery mechanism for the UK-focused spitting image. I only discovered this service now, hence the posts. Anyway if you dislike my messages or feel I've outstayed your welcome, feel free to ignore me. The world shall keep turning.
@BenCotto please excuse the spelling. I use a mobile device with auto-complete keyboard and I've lived in several countries over the years. Those two factors combine to occasionally confuse my spelling, grammar and idioms without me realizing.
To everyone else, I remain interested in your views on the topic.
There's an easy way to get this right. Think of "advice" which is a noun, and "advise" which is a verb. Most people spell those correctly, because they sound different. Not so the nouns "licence" and "practice", and the verbs "license" and "practise", because the two forms are pronounced the same. Â
What p's me off, and I suspect many others too, is the BBC pleading poverty and then paying presenters vast salaries. I don't blame the presenters for accepting them - who amongst us would say to an employer "No, don't pay me that much"?
I am more than happy to pay my "tax" to the BBC. Fantastic value for money. Today I have already had my hour of Radio 4 and last night I continued to watch all the previous series of Line of Duty.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

I haven't really followed this thread recently, but I'm also happy to pay the licence. When you consider the amount each month, and how often people would buy a newspaper, a lunch in a cafe, or a carry out meal without thinking, it doesn't seem much to me. Worth it for LoD alone @punkdoc
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
