Pissed off in Sweden

Many on this forum know but there is probably some that dont know so I thought it was time to share . I am not one to spread things all over FB about person things unless it,s for my hate for Camoron and the EU . Last year my beautiful wife Lotta passed away after only nine weeks from the date of finding out she had cancer , the details I will not go into but will come to the point of my RANT . I am now trying to cut down on all my outgoings every month as there is only my salary coming in . I cancelled our satellite TV to save 800 squids a year amongst other things that are really unnecessary . Today I phoned about the TV license to cancel that as I will no longer be watching TV as I bought a Firestick to watch streams such as Football , films ( all up to date ) TV programs from all over the world . BUT as long as I have a TV in the house I still have to pay the 16 squids a month , the bitch on the other end of the line suggested I sell the TV and they will send someone round to check without an appointment then and only then will they cancel my TV license fees . You can not even play X Box or PS on your TV without paying for the License . How fucked up has this become . Greedy barstewards . RANT OVER 

So this is a Swedish TV ownership tax, correct?

Same as UK licence. You have anything capable of receiving or watching television or broadcasts of any kind, you need the licence

BTW Tony, commiserations on your loss; I had gathered from Bookface but as you sad you didn't post about it. Very dignified

Yep , pretty much the same as in Britain a F,ing rip off 18 squids a month , I aint finished with them yet , next TV I buy is gonna be in someone else,s name so it wont be registered to me and I,ll hide it when they come round to check

Cheers mate

Bloody hell Tony, sorry to hear about Lotta

As JDLK said , you dont need to have to have a TV and still require a licence, If you watch 'Live' TV on computer, tablet, games console, smartphone or any other device you now need a licence

Its about time this ceased, It is now a tax

They have you by the short and curlies no matter what Campo . 2 weeks ago our water stopped as we have our own well , got that fixed more money . The weekend the fridge freezer packed up and just before xmas the oven packed up . I,m starting to thing some barsteward has it in for me . Well here I am give it your best shot , you wont beat me . Rant 2 over
