Oh no! Not the Olympics.

Just had a look at the TV listings for the next 2 weeks

BBC1, BBC1HD, BBC3, BBCHD + all the other channels being provided for over the coming weeks dedicated to the Olympics.
So we all have to pay for this service via the license fee yet we all don't want to watch it & having a quick browse of what's on the 2 channels left BBC2 & BBC4 I think that I should receive a 4% discount on my TV license as I will be watching ZERO BBC content over the next 2 weeks.
The BBC is supposed to be about choice, what choice is there when there are a total of 28 channels dedicated to this spectacle & 2 channels full of crap for those that have no interest.
Call me what you want, killjoy, boring (insert word) or anything else. Having this shoved down my throat is not sitting well with me. All I see is wasted money, tax & license fee payers money all £9Billion of it & once its all done & dusted I can guarantee the total final cost of this to the tax payer will be in excess of £11Billion.
