I alone work with 3 people that no longer use it, other means of getting their TV use.

The number of those watching Domestic TV is falling.

Do we know what his predecessor will be paid?

I'd do it for 50k a year and steak and chips with garden peas, with some banoffee pie to finish off, while sitting with the sound men in the BBC canteen.

See, I do believe that people who claim this, never sit down in front of their TVs and watch Eastenders or Match of the Day.

I find it less believable that they never use the iPlayer, never listen to Radio 1, or 5 live, or Radio 6, never listen to a BBC podcast, and never visit the BBC website.

Don't sell yourself short. Hold out for some onion rings, half a grilled tomato and a portobello mushroom (give that to your agent).

AlbionBro said:

You have a point but the mushrooms in particular might put my job at risk when the Courtney the dinner girl gets to see how privileged I am. She will be straight on tiktok, chasing her fame and fortune. If I go that route I'd might just ask her to batter my sausage instead.

I have had a small number of people who say (rather beligerently) they don't use the bbc. But then reference listening to 5live, or a podcast, or bbc iplayer.

That's their choice if they really don't use it. In which case they don't need to pay. No need for a licence. In which case they have nothing to complain about

The powers that be always wanted him gone

Gary Lineker: A sorry end to a BBC career

His years as a BBC host end in circumstances nobody would have wanted, but some might have predicted.

It will be the Beeb's loss

Perhaps if he'd got a job at Spectator he might have survived

The post that got him in trouble was pretty dumb though. I like Lineker but he’s got a lot of people after him and was either deliberately anti semitic or stupid.

Hopefully Shearer can poke off as well.

Oh yes. I had to switch over from the BBC coverage of the FAC final to ITV just to avoid him, and that's saying something.
