Many will remember the days of the dreaded white vans that "scared people" while looking for licence dodgers on our streets.
Years ago, it wasn't uncommon to spot the TV detector vans driving around the region, leaving generations of households glued to their windows as much as their TV sets. As long as you were paying your television licence fee then you had absolutely nothing to fear.
And some even reckoned the vans were nothing more than an elaborate hoax to scare us into paying our licence fees, Edinburgh Live recently reported. But if you're of a certain age, you'll remember well the fear that washed over your street as a friend or family member announced the telly detector van was in the area.
