Ah, but as far as the BBC were concerned, you would be receiving something extra, something special that a normal radio would not pick up. If you're benefitting from the service, then you should be paying for it. If everybody had just listened to the sound without paying anything extra for it, and this did not convince enough people to get an actual TV receiver and so pay for an upgraded licence, the BBC would not have been able to continue running the TV service.
You can't expect a train guard to accept
The train was still going there anyway, whether I bought a ticket or not as an excuse for non-payment .....
