Sparkle Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 We sat in our m/h last week and were quietly reading and it crossed my mind what do people do with their evenings? We don't have tv, so usually if we're within reach of a town we'll wander off into it and explore, or if in middle of nowhere (which with Bruce is quite common) then we'll crack a bottle open, maybe do a cross word together, he'll fettle with something, I''ll try and convinve the pooch that he doesn't have agrophobia, etc etc.. you get the idea. We have a stash of books as well which get turned around pretty quickly.... I stocked it up with all sorts of things so I am never bored, like sketch books, some cross stitch things, suduko and puzzle books (helps keep my mind active! :-D ) but have hardly touched them.... I dread to think what Bruce will post if he sees ths one - all I can say is I apologise now! (lol) (lol) (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm a hooker - of the rag rug variety (of course!) and quilter so I do my Little House on the Prairie re-enactment. If there's rugby on though, it's bottle of scotch, big bar of chocolate, feet up with dog on either side and shout at the 5" TV. (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGD Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Aha - so when MHing, our Jan's a hooker in the evenings, just for her own entertainment!! On her own rug no less. Fantastic! So the red high-heels and fishnets are part of the "professional" attire then....... A little red 12 volt light outside under the wind-out canopy? Rope attachment points on the bed? Baby oil in the 3-way fridge? You're gonna be an A-list invitee to any future MMM Towers "Home for The Dazed and Confused" club reunions I reckon.

Mike Parke Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Rarely watch 'telly' when at home and definatly NOT when on holiday. If evening is clement will walk & dine out in the local area. If not usually read a thriller or political thriller based novel, but not a crime story. Cherry mainly does 'Sudoko' or plays patience. If the mood strikes us we talk about family, world, holiday, next years holiday ect. NIce, though, just to relax and 'unwind', isn't it?

davenewellhome Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 If we're with friends then we'll often invade someone's awning/MH (depends how cold and windy it gets) or get invaded for an evening of slanderous conversation and drinking :D . Otherwise if we're on our own we might go out for food or eat in, we might watch TV or a DVD or listen to the radio (radio & on digital is excellent in the evening as its all the old classic commedies) or a CD or read or do something else I can't talk about on here :$ .

icelander Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Sparkle - Do you need a licence for a tv in Spain? We try to keep the BBC happy here, by havinghad the tuner and antenna removed. The BBC however still send red letters with words such as "Enforcement Officers" "Search" "Crimminal" "Police" "Court" "Judge" "Conviction" "Illegal" etc etc inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this out when i bought a new moniter for my comp shortly followed by the request for a licence fee unless i already had one, and if i had a licence would i be so good as to give them the number on it so that they could close the request. although im not sparkle i can answer your question regarding the tv licence in spain - you do not need one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icelander Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Sparkle - sorry to hijack thread Currently from Citizens advice "You don't use your television set or other device to watch or record broadcast programmes If you do not use your television set, video recorder or DVD player to watch or record authorised broadcast programmes (that is, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, cable television or satellite television) you will not need a licence. This means that you would not need a licence if, for example, you only:- use the television set as a computer monitor use the television set to play electronic games watch pre-recorded videos or DVDs, whether or not these have been bought or recorded by someone else. However, the television set and/or video recorder must be incapable of receiving all authorised broadcast programmes. This could be done, for example, by making sure that neither the television set nor the video recorder are tuned into any channels and ensuring that they are not connected to an aerial."

Guest Tracker Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 As I understand it, to make a TV incapable of receiving TV broadcasts for the purpose of avoiding the need for a license it is not sufficient to detune it or disconnect an aerial. The set has to be totally and permanently incapable of receiving broadcasts and that means removing the tuning mechanism completely and irrevocably and in such a fashion that it can't be reversed after the license men have called to check. It then becomes a monitor in effect, but if you have a skybox, digibox, video recorder, computer TV access, or anything else with the capability to receive a TV picture in the house you are still liable for a license. Difficult to avoid it in reality and probably not worth the effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Newell Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 My understanding of TV licensing is the same as yours Richard, if you own equipment capable of receiving TV transmissions in the UK then you need to have a UK TV licence.
