The detector van

In the UK, you have to own a license to legally view the TV. If this is not purchased every year, you may be liable for a fine.

The Detector van is scanning a block of houses to see if anybody without a license is watching TV. The van pulls up outside a house and the driver gets out and starts walking down the drive. As he gets to the door, a woman is coming out.

Man: I am from the TV Licensing agency, do you have a TV License?


Woman: Yes, but I am on my way to the supermarket now and I haven't got time to show you now. My husband will show you it if you come back later as he will be back from work. He won't know where it is, but if you tell him it is behind the clock on the mantelpiece, he will show you.

The driver agrees and goes.

He returned to the house seeing the husband's car on the drive. He knocks on the door and waits.


Man: I am from the TV Licensing agency, do you have a TV License?
Husband: Oh yes, but I haven't got a clue where it is, the wife deals with those sort of things. I wouldn't know where to look.


Man: It's behind the clock on the mantelpiece.


Husband: Those detector vans are really clever these days, I had no idea they were that good!
