Apparently in England you have to pay for an annual license to watch public TV. Have you ever heard of anything like this before?

Television....the drug of the nation. Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.

Count me also as one aware of this. This is not a recent thing. Monty Python had sketches that made fun of it. Perhaps HawaiiYou hasn't heard of it yet.

Apparently in England towards the middle of afternoon they have a dedicated time in which you are to have tea. Have you ever heard of anything like this before?

According to Wikipedia, 70% of the violators (those who don't pay the license) are female.
