Lineker also fronts Walkers crisps ads (has done for years) and gets away with it while lesser BBC "stars" get hauled over the coals for fronting adverts.

Re: TV licenses and the over 75s

Stopped paying a tv licence a couple of years back

I watch Prime, Netflix, All4, itv hub and tv player, as well as YouTube

So much content I could be glued to the tv 24/7 and still not run out of things to watch

UK tax can be avoided by various means most of which have been closed by the BBC after a bit of a brouhaha when it emerged how many top earners were doing so.
