It used to be the case that the TV supplier snitched your address to authorities. I was onced asked "what" address I wanted put down when I bought a TV for cash. As Beeky found out, the "database" is just a database of all homes, they assume everyone has a TV. -- Neil Arlidge NB Earnest - Out of it. Wildernii Mini Me - Now back to being wheely good fun.
