I've been having fun imagining ways to waste TV Licensing enforcement officers time and to annoy them so they have less energy to collect what is essentially a poll tax from the most vulnerable in society and so far my favorite idea is being overly procedural and verbose feel free to copy and adapt my script of a potential interaction I declare it to be CC0, I mostly did it for fun I may never see one of these people.
