Your logic here is 'clearly' flawed - I subsidise loads of things through council tax that have no bearing on my life whatsoever - by your logic I should 'clearly' not have to subsidise them.

we live near Barry Rd and reception is poor for both analogue and for the built-in tv digital receiver - reception is much better through the external digital top up tv box/recorder.
