Everything I learnt about dealing with uninvited visitors at the door, I learnt from my old Dad. Always, he said "Who are you? No, thanks."' Shut door. Done.
My dad was the same , he was brought up in occupied Amsterdam during the second wold war and had to deal with proper goons,so these clowns had no chance 😂
Never ! Ever say you live there and always record ! Always ! And never have your tv visible to any window ! Never answer your door never ! Say anything unless it’s fuck off and no thanks, if you watch tv never watch the one in the living room ! Use a laptop or phone.
REMEMBER FOLKS, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GAIN BY INTERRACTING WITH THESE BULLY BOYS. THE RULE IS SO SIMPLE; KEEP YOUR DOOR, AND MOUTH, SHUT! Thank you.
I'm devastated, just moved house and then when I went back to hand the keys back to the landlord found out I had missed an actual visit, so never got the chance to say "thanks but no thanks"
In the ten plus years of being licence free I have yet to get a knock. I'd love the chance to say 'no thanks' and shut the door, I feel I'm missing out ☺
They seem to target streets where they can spy on several properties at once like terraced housing, and where they can see there isn't a lose dog in the garden
I keep getting love letters but always get stood up... Although the latest one has a very official looking red number on it with the local town that supplies the goon.. Fingers crossed I get to say "no thanks" as i clise the door
@@sandrahoward5695 - It seems it is only a ban on cold calls selling financial products, I thought there would be a catch, but then the TV TAX GOONS are selling a financial product aren't they?
The governemnt broke lockdown law when they made it illegal for me to work, completely destroying my life . They had parties and got off with women while our nans died alone in hospital . . If the governement can break the law what hope do we have with a nation of sheeple idiots who vote them back in !!!!!! 😖🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I recently cancelled my TV license officially, I am also %100 genuinely not watching TV etc but for years I was apprehensive about cancellation the license simply because of the anxiety of dealing with this situation. Watching a few videos on your channel has given me the confidence and knowledge on how to deal in this situation if it arises. Thanks.
My issue is that for twenty years, the BBC took my money, and gave large amounts of it to someone they knew was abusing kids in their care. Not one more penny will ever be given by me to an organisation like that, so I’ve removed their implied rights of access via phone, told them my name is ‘The Occupier’ when they asked for it, and I warned them if any of them turn up at my property, I will take a picture of them, and post it on the web with the words ‘paedophile supporter’ under it, because that’s what they are. Haven’t heard from them for years!
Mine ended in March. I haven't had the threats yet, I'm disappointed. But I keep getting reminders. I'm waiting for the knock so I can slam the dor in their face.
Reply with is the pope polish or I would love to invite you in but we all have Covid at the moment and we’re under quarantine come back in six weeks when we get the all clear then cough in his face and shut the door
Last 3 years of being license free been getting a letter every month off these goons saying all the usual they’re giving me 10 days to get properly licensed “already are don’t need one “ and the regular ones starting investigation etc all they’ve got so far is I’m legal occupier and sir or madam 😂 last letter was threatening a visit from an enforcement orifice to check and question me under caution well gd look with that goons I’m moving this weekend 😂😂😂😂
If someone knocks on your door ands asks "do you live here?" It's the equivalent of someone stopping you in the street and asking "where do you live?" It's not on. I'm at my mates house while he is away, and anybody that knocks on the door can all bog off. job done.
Got one the other day. He looked all official then he asked me when I opened the door....Do you live here? The response was..Ive not got time for this mate and shut door right in his face...Classic.....Lesson is do not give them the time of day...😂
Yeah.He thought he was Mr Important.....I think not baby puppy...As he wondered off , tail between his legs. So the motto to remember is Look, na mate, Close door ...
What I don't understand is if a Corporation chooses to flood the whole country in elctrical signals and they can't control where it goes, who's problem is that?
@@SpeccyMan well, who's beaming out signals from all over creation? Not the people being hounded by door knocking Goons trying to enter properties under false laws.
Could you imagine shopping at Sainsburys and a guy from Tesco turning up and asking you if he can check your fridge because you must be shoplifting from them if you've not been buying from them.
The electricity reader guy came round recently. I wouldn't confirm anything and he got asked, "Who are you?" a thousand times, and asked for proof before being allowed to look at the meter. I wasn't going to tolerate any license salesman doorstepping me and trying any con job.
I had a electric company salesperson claim they need to look at the meter a few years ago, they were using it as a ruse to get inside and then try and make you change suppliers, I didn't fall for it but it shows that you really need to question anyone who tries to get in your home.
@@chriswilliams209 If they did pass on any details they would be breaking the Data Protection Act as they are two separate departments dealing with different data.
If a meter reader turned up at my house ( a few have ) without prior warning, they are told to fuck off. I give a reading myself every month. If you want to come an inspect, you come when I am home and it suits me. I have given them 3 dates and times. For some reason , 1 AM on a Sunday morning does not work for them ….
I love these guys when they visit. I lead them to the dog compound in my back yard. However, I do need another visit, as I am having to buy dog food again.
Years ago when a Goon knocked on the door of Drag Queen - Miss Kitty Litta - he was told: "The last man who knocked on my door ended up staying here for five nights! Up for it love?"😅
hazel what is your pp - i remember it from somewhere but i don't know how to do image search. it was an advert wasn't it? credit card or phone company? i love these obsolete characters - i always felt sorry for the little robot from when tv went to digital. 😃
Mr Mori clipboard with the stupid hat must be in a very civilised part of the country. I can think of many areas where he wouldn't last five minutes with attitude like that.
I've just had a letter to say I'm due a visit. Thing is it's addressed to "present occupier" so they don't even know who I am!! Can't wait to shut the door in their faces!!
That guy at 4:50 - I would treat as a hostile intruder at that moment. By closing the door on someone and/or telling them to leave, the implied right of access IS REMOVED at that point. The _implication_ is that you can approach a door without climbing over anything and the person opening the door lives there. The second _implication_ is that by closing the door, the access is removed. If he did that to me, I would then put my hands on him. No joke, no 'tough guy' exaggeration, he's getting physically turfed off my property.
Despite whatever changes in society it's still women who are more likely to be at home during the day, minding the kids etc. So they know that they'll less likely have to face men on the doorstep.
I would have you stay with the...who are you? And the...no thanks not interested. By the time I'd got my phone out, and got the video going, we'd both have aged considerably. Im tech useless. 🤷
They actually have a target to meet first, then any sales after that they get the bonus (commission). I would imagine they don't get much more than minimum wage before that. As for travelling expenses, I have no idea.
Just had a visit from tv licencing got a sign on my door no leaflets or cold callers but still posted the leaflet through my door. His bright yellow car gave him away 😂. He didn't even knock the door.
I'm waiting for the goon to call !! I have a cord and plug 🔌 to put in my mouth and say it's a toaster 😅 ( young ones from the 80s for all those that are too young to remember)
After 3 years of almost constant threatograms, they now appear to have given up, the threatened visits never did happen, and not heard from them for ages now!, shame really, i guess ill have to go back to buying firelighters.
Someone from Ipsos Mori called round my house not long after I moved in. They asked about my TV viewing and I told them I didn't watch TV and didn't have one. They asked if it was because I was (can't remember the exact wording) getting back at the BBC (it sounded like he was implying I was one of the people who dodge the license but don't watch TV) and I said it was because I got fed up of the programmes and the last straw was one where about women who thought their boyfriends were 'tools'. I said I hadn't watched TV for at least 12 years now and never will again. He said that I could still provide valuable data about why I don't watch TV and I said I really don't have any information I want to share that you will find valuable or interesting. I received letters from them every so often for a year or so and then they just stopped.
I think there should be a National Goon Day were we remember the ones that have sadly fallen due to standing out in the cold waiting to not only have doors shut on them, but also to be captured in the process and the footage sent to Jon so we can all have a good laugh at them when they walk away looking like they think they've just won the lottery but forgot to buy the ticket!
I kind of agree with you, CJC, but if you are absolutely NOT going to divulge any information to the goons then yes, keep them at YOUR door for as long as you can! While they are wasting time fruitlessly at your address they can't be bothering someone else!
Got a letter saying I was to be prosecuted on the 4th May 2023, that I should be in when the goons did the visit, unfortunately for them I wasn't there... 😂😂 Some of us have to work for a living...
It’s not just TV licence that get the cold shoulder on my door step, Since lock down I’ve started working from home and it’s amazing how many Cold callers you get sometimes, They all get the same, I answer the door, [it’s no one I know or it’s not the delivery I’m expecting], as soon as they start to speak I close the door and leave them talking to themselves while I go back to work.
I never answer my door to anyone. If I'm expecting someone they know just to come in. Whats with this culture of knocking and ringing doorbells surely its a relic by now. If I hear a knock at the door and i'm not expecting anyone i assume its a sales or some other door to door nonsense. see ya! great video though jon
It's funny, i was just thinking about these BBC license goons this morning. I was thinking about whhat kind of person actually does a job like this, and if they tell their friends exactly what they do.
Going back a few years, my then girlfriends father answered a knock at the door, confronted by a salesman, before the poor chap had chance to do his sales pitch, Bob, simply said “not today thanks” the look of how dare you from the salesman was priceless, as the door was closed. Being young at the time I thought how brutal it was, but I’ve done the exact same thing ever since.
The first one was the best one, just don't interact, better still don't answer the door. You only become a target when you interact with them, they want the easy pickings. If you never answer they get very bored very quickly and leave you alone. Antagonise and you put a target on yourself.
I would NOT by a used car or anything from those two at 06:37mins. They look the part I suppose. You and your Goons always make me laugh. I should link them all on one playlist. Thanks again.
That second one looked a bit shifty to me. It wasn't worth engaging with them at all passed making it clear you're not interested. And, once the door's shut, that's the end of it. It might sound like a good idea being a bit clever and stating they can ask whatever questions they like, (and expect no answers), but sometimes it's not worth expending the energy, or taking it personally. Use the least amount of interaction required to make it clear they're wasting their time. Don't get antagonistic or clever with responses. It only makes those who're prepared to do it, go out of their way to be awkward in future.
Excellent point , especially now as all the Enforcement Officers ( goons ) are issued with body cams to use if they feel physically or verbally abused ,
We are a business on a retail site and recently had a letter from the goons. We only have computers and they want to know if we access tv in our office even on iPhones . Absolutely ridiculous
No,you are wrong,that is untrue- they cannot use removing the right of access to obtain a warrant - they have to provide proof and evidence that you were watching live tv to obtain a warrant from a court
Interestingly I stopped paying the BBC many many years ago and they came round for about 5 years and then it all stopped. Recently though I have had my first visit for about 10 years. I thought it was interesting they came round now given they havent had any luck for a very long time with me.
Whoa, I'm amazed this still goes on in the UK. I was born and raised a yank but I plan on visiting. I can't wait to be around mostly Sane and cool people except these clueless prix LOL This whole thing is so dystopian
