Another increase is in store come April 1st. The cost of a colour TV licence will rise by £3 to £142.50 per year and a black and white only licence will rise by £1 to £48. (Who still has black and white TVs these days?) Anyway, for Americans, a TV licence is something completely foreign. Here in the UK, every household that has a TV must pay for a TV licence. These licence fees basically fund the BBC's radio, TV and Internet services. But believe me - this is money well spent for the luxury of having commercial-free TV and radio. Not to mention a news website (http://news.bbc.co.uk) that isn't flooded with advertisements. Another plus of living in England, in my opinion!

About Us
- Dawn & Paul White
- 2012 looms and we hope that it will be a kind year. Over the last few years we have lost Dad, George and Tiny so our lives have been forever changed. However, we have some wonderful memories that we can cherish. And at the end of the day it's memories that we strive to create. The rest is incidental.
