No you don’t

I moved into my new flat a week ago on saturday (the 12th) and bought a telly licence on the monday, the morning after finally actually managing to get a signal (though I still can’t pick up either ITV or Channel 4).
Then, a week after moving in and five days after buying said telly licence, I get a letter from TV Licensing.
Not the relatively polite reminder letter either, but the one in which they threaten to send round enforcement officers to interview me under caution.
I’m not absolutely sure which boils my piss more, being told off for something I haven’t done, or this absurd contention:
“Officers from our enforcement division catch 60,631 people every year.”
What happens if they get to that figure in October? Do they just have the rest of the year off?
Frankly I don’t think that’s a very good use of my licence fee money.
