    I still pay it
    £14.54 a month is not bad in comparison to other services
    Sky is 10 times that for the full package :emoticon-0104-surpr
    2 pints down the pub.

    The culture secretary, Lisa Nandy said: "We recognise there are problems with the licence fee. Fewer and fewer people are paying it.

    "It's unenforceable and, particularly, I've been very concerned about the way it's been enforced in the past, with women - particularly vulnerable women - targeted for enforcement action, and the BBC itself has accepted that."
