I am not sure if this is a wind up,but had a call today asking about the type of music played in the business.The call was official and seemed above board so i went along with the conversation.I confirmed that I listen to the radio during the working day which i presume is quite normal,or so i thought.I was then informed that in order to listen to the radio whilst at work in the premises that i will need to buy a license.I was a bit surprised and asked why the radio station didnt pay for the privilege,I was told that even though the broadcasters had paid them a fee to allow them to broadcast the music we as businesses were liable for a license in order to listen to it(double whammy!).The cost?£125 per year!! ouch.It is nearly April 1 so it must be a wind up.I have now turned off the radio just in case the pleasure police are around and catch me listening to something for free!! I know the music indusrty is getting deperate but this is getting silly.Or is it April fool?? Colin
