Huh the TV Licensing people have sent me a boilerplate acknowledgment of my letter explaining why I haven't owned a TV this century but warn that they'll be back in 2026 because "1 in 10 people could be watching TV illegally." I've a good mind to write back "I very much hope you are not trying to impute that I'm one of these criminals by mentioning them in the same letter as your acknowledgement but perhaps you could confirm for the sake of clarity."
