Sorry, but increasingly watching the stuff on the *BBC* news and *BBC* 
South Today (no, I don't tend to watch ITV news)... and at the risk of 
getting dangerously close to a troll, I think the country is no longer 
the place that I remember, and in many ways I'm glad I left.

As for paying for it, I bet the BBC accepts overseas licence fees about 
as readily as Sky claims to [*], which is somewhat ironic given I can 
get all the UK-based BBC programming plus some of the stuff not intended 
for UK consumption (BBC World, for example, one of the last places where 
teletext was still running).


Best wishes,

Rick.

* - that said, around half the people living here have Sky cards, 
evidently for the cricket, ho hum.
