    In today's world of climate damage, surely F1 should be banned or at least have the cars converted to run off green fuels. It would make for one heck of an electric race.

        You are under no obligation to let them in to ..err... examine your equipment. You could invite them to prove you are illegally watching tv by producing evidence from a detector van. They won't. Unless you admit you've broken the law they can't get you. I'd keep the telly well away from the window though.

          Do they have a right to entry, or are they like bailiffs, don't let them in and they can't do anything as they can't obtain proof?

          I think the advice I've seen on keeping the vermin at arms length is if you do answer the door, don't say anything, then close the door.

            Moto GP all the way, even have the 125s and Moto2 on the red button.

            F1, Mehhh!

                F1 Money Grabbing TWITS!!!!!

                Well now the racing has gone to sky it would appear I need to buy another dish, buy a sky package, pay for someone to fit it along next to my freesat dish an pay to be switched on. Or I could buy another stand alone dish, point it to Europe watch the race on French TV and tune into the radio for a live commentary.
                I don’t think so, life is hard enough right now
                Good bye F1

                  I heard on BBC 5 that in a few years when they switch to turbos that the pit lane drive will be entirely on KERS.
                  McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
                  Spock: "Trained? Judging from you, I would have guessed it was trial and error."

                    From next year half of the coverage will only be available on 'kers.

                      Soooo ... we need to find the free picture stream on t'interweb and listen to R5 Live (they talk over the pics from the practice sessions and are very good). A quick Google and <cough> RTL </cough>
