City households caught without licences between January and June 2012 now face prosecution and fines of up to £1,000.

I bet we are never told how many will actual be prosecuted and fined, or perhaps they will use this new style of prosecution i.e write to head of BBC say sorry, buy them bunch of flowers and chocolate be cheaper ( BY THE WAY THIS IS TONUGE IN CHEEK) meant as joke i suppose

Your grammar suggests you're in no position to pick people up on their spelling.

i only watch Netflix, DVDs and blu-rays, so I don't need a licence and have not had one since the start of this year.
I not paying for the trash on TV, I am now paying for stuff I want to watch, when I want to watch it.

The TVL can come to my house any time, if I will let them in is another thing
