If then it becomes an unavoidable tax for an address not just consumers f the service. I think that would be unpopular and affect collection. I am not sure local govenment would want the extra beaurocracy of deciding who to collect from if not unavoidable and certainly would not want enforcement

One of my top 5 favourite records of all times.
My son has a copy with two side two labels which is really rare but also really annoying.

A late 60s pocket radio called Internet Satellite.

A late 60s pocket radio called Internet Satellite.

So several years before the term Internet was coined for a network of interconnected computer networks in the mid 70s. Several years earlier a small company in Beckenham Kent sold cheapo Hong Kong made pocket radios.
They called themselves Internet.
Here is one I bought today with box.

I found a 12 sided threepenny bit in Livie the Triumph 1300 under the back seat. More likely lost out of a back pocket than a good luck charm I think.

I have 2 friends who are announcers/presenters on Radio 4 who would disagree unless Nuneaton and Belfast no longer count as regional.
