Actually, there are several chains which do take names and addresses (PC World, Carphone Warehouse), and if you buy a television, the shop is legally obligated to take your name and address. Not sure, but I think they then send that info to TV licensing.

Aha, I stand corrected. I bought a DVD in Asda when I lived in Leicester (and worked at Asda!) and was asked for my details. As you say, it was for reasons of TV licensing. I forgot because it was so many years ago now!

I've only bought a prepay phone in the last 10 years, so I haven't been asked for details. I think anyone would understand the reason details are needed for a contract phone however.

As do I. Now go kill a hobo.

Shawnee123 · 03-30-2010, 01:17 PM

Would a student count? If they look really hobo-ish? 'Cause, we're lousy with hobo-ish people here.

classicman · 03-30-2010, 01:26 PM

Some students probably deserve it more than the Hobo does. . . or so I've heard.

DanaC · 03-30-2010, 03:23 PM

Oy!

Shawnee123 · 03-30-2010, 03:29 PM

Not YOU kinda student...THESE kinda students. Ahhh, they're not all bad, but amongst approx 27,000 students there are bound to be some hobos.
