Stu posted his annoyance once about having to purchase I licence to listen to the radio at your business premises.
Now this doesn't affect me in the slightest as I don't listen to the radio or any music as it ruins my concentration.
However what does annoy me is the constant letters informing me of these laws.
More paper for the bin,Today the fookers not satisfied with sending me these letters all the time have taken to ringing me to inform of the contents of these letters and then proceed to ask probing questions into my business.
I politely informed them to go away They offered to call me back at a convenient time

She then asked for my name to which i would not give it here, "she said i must" i told her no you are not having it she said "i need it to take you of my list" so i said fine its MR smith she said "thanks"

That was it

They did the same at my husbands work, few letters then a phone call that went a bit like this
Her - Do you listen to a radio at work?
Him - Maybe, whats it to you?
Her - well if you listen to a radio at work you must have a license or you will be faced with a big fine.
Him - Oh right, no, I don't listen to a radio at work then.
Her - Ok, no problem, thanks for your time.

Its a bit slack really and you have to wonder where the money really goes.

Say if your work place has a people carry and your work force of 7 has to travel to x place, you have the radio on in the car, where do you stand there?

The PRS said to my work place that you have have a work force more than 2 ( i think it was? ) listening to the radio you have to pay?

How do they plan to police this?
