Currys also report you to TV Licensing.

Not just Currys

Under the Wireless and Telegraphy Act of 1967 all TV dealers
were required to notify TV Licencing whenever they sold or rented
TV's. This was repealed in 2013.

not all assistants were equally on the ball when it came
to asking for names and addresses
