    Default Where are all the radios?

    Remember the day you used to go into a shop and in the background there was a radio playing? Why dont we see that anymore?
    I went into the bakery today and it dawned on me for some reason (while I was waiting for my order) where is the radio.
    Comn shop owner guys get the tunes on when I'm in the shop - and none of this namby pamby lift music, Radio1 or MFR, its easier on the guys behind the counter as well.

    I think they need a licence or something, probably like paying through the nose for sky in the pub. I'm might be wrong, I usually am.

    If they were playing the radio I think they would need a Performing Rights license, to play CDs I believe you need a Performing Rights license and a Phonographic Performances license.

    Hmmm, seems that when I raised this topic a while back all I got was grief - probably why I don't bother anymore....

    They quote a cost of £224.44 p.a. for background music in a shop space 201 – 300 sq.m. which is only 61 pence a day folks!!!
    If you just have a portable radio it's only £56.12 a year....

    i like the radio its on in our house most of the morning. beats silence.
    no amount of darkness can drive out darkness
    only light can do that.

    Its free, unless you have more than 2 friends/family with you and then your little gathering becomes a "rave" and you can all be arrested.

    Doesnt apply to me as I have no friends but say if I did have 2 friends with me and one went for an ice cream and I fell out with the other, do I still have to pay.

    Can you imagine the form that goes with applying for this -- all you need is the "Any Other Information" section and an imagination and you could entertain yourself without a radio
