Another wet Wednesday!

Thank goodness! I'm so glad there wasn't a farmers' market today and that I did some shopping yesterday because it has been so dark, cold and wet that I felt like going back to bed for the day! However, I did get up and decided to do washing, lots of it! No, I'm not crazy (well, I suppose I am) but I have to use a tumble dryer because there is no room to have even a rotary dryer in my back yard.
When I got the first load in, I did some reading and then decided to see what was on TV. This is not something I usually do in the day but I thought, well it is the Christmas holidays so I'll make an exception. I was amazed at how many programmes are repeats, I know that holiday times are a good excuse for the programmers to dig out any old rubbish to show but this is ridiculous. I have Freeview and a lot of the channels on there also show repeats.
The biggest surprise of all was that channel 5 is showing the Wizard of Oz on New Year's Day and it's the original version which was made in 1939. One of the biggest problems is that all channels show the same films and Christmas specials year after year after year.
With all these repeats, especially from the BBC channels, I wonder what they would say if I refused to pay a proportion of my licence fee because I don't feel I'm getting value for money. After all, if you buy a product or service from any other source and it doesn't live up to what you would expect, there is always the Office of Fair Trading or Trading Standards to complain to.
However, knowing my luck, I would be prosecuted and sentenced to spend a spell at Her Majesty's Leisure. Come to think of it, I've heard these places are like 5 star hotels but I still don't think I'll give it a try!
