Airsy, they will once they turn off the broadcast signal but that is probably a decade or two away at least. In the meantime BBC1 and Radio 4 are everywhere. I had a top floor flat for a few months less than half a mile from the BBC mast and you could get the sound of BBC1 on electrical appliances the signal was so strong.

So do you think we should continue to rely on imported gas & oil at great £cost, or produce our own green energy?

I'm probably one of the greenest wup posters,driver an EV ,don't travel abroad,have sola security lights and 5 bins for different waste:-)

Padd, I think you mean "Maxipus"? On BBC radio Oxy, before the Mexico game they unearthed a goat that had correctly predicted the results of our four previous games. It went for Mexico, so maybe it's now a goat curry ...

Trig - you'd also then be watching tonight's game on a dodgy streaming feed with a 5-minute time lag

Spit, some also believe everything on GB News & X !

I’d certainly be happy with that. Save £100+ a year and have it be impossible to see Strictly or anything about it. Bosh.

You'd think in this modern digital/streaming era that the BBC would be able to restrict/block access to their services from the licence dodgers in the way that you can't watch Sky, TNT, Disney,Paramount, Netflix without a subscription.

Well, the climate is changing in one way or another and there's a lot of racism out there. Whether or not the BBC's viewpoint is relevant, or correct, is another matter.

Well the BBC claim everything is climate change and racist and some believe them

Argentina have conceded goals in this World Cup against Jordan (1), Car Verde (2), Egypt (2) and Switzerland (1). So Kane and Bellingham should be eyeing a goal each tonight.

This one? [Link]

Let’s just hope that if England do lose, and a black England player makes a mistake or misses a penalty, that we don’t see the flood of online racist abuse that followed the previous sequence of events…. :(

I have it on good authority from an aged Galapagos Turtle that Trump will only hand himself the Trophy as Commander in Chief of the USA team.

We have it on good authority that Argentina will win 1-0 in the 99th minute, following a penalty that is retaken fifteen times, after only three minutes injury time.

I have it on good authority that the Belgian prime minister's cat Maximus has predicted an England win tonight.

Messi news [Link]

Is that a new local paper I haven’t heard of?

Nice to see the wimbledon labrador in the pub tonight .

Not a good evening for the youth - the under 18s lost 6-3 at Horsham and a younger side lost 4-0 to Ascot United U18s

Sandy - The hideous looking Cuckoo-rella has signed for Real Madrid.

What a guy

My Lithuanian neice-in-law who's in Paris watched the game at a bar with her man and says he's heartbroken. I said don't worry - you'll beat England for 3rd place.

Any riots yet in Paris
