28 April, 2005: h2g2 is Six!
You can call me TC Posted May 3, 2005
We realise that, Paully, we're just saying we'd be prepared to pay for the privilege of listening to/watching BBC services, and for joining in the website.
Apart from the guilty conscience caused by doing it. Just imagine: here I am in my office in the middle of Germany, listening to Steve Lamacq for free. Other people are paying for this and I couldn't if I wanted to. 
I could even listen to the Archers if I wanted to - or a Goon Show on BBC 7 and I can listen to the proms all through the summer.
I'd better shut up or someone might knock on my door and ask for 126 quid.

Blimey I new it was expensive over here but that still sounds like a lot for a cup of Rosie.
