The start of a new trend. The Performing Rights Society has ruled that a music shop in Macclesfield must pay royalties on music played by their customers while trying out instruments in the shop.

Excuse me? They gonne mad in the UK? How on earth are they going to check that... Ok sir, you've played 2 notes from a Beatles song and a 5 from Bach's Oeuvre, that'll be 20 Pounds please... What? You don't want the instrument no more? 5 Pounds extra for damaging my ears! Grin

LOL

The EU pales into insignificance when our own silly lot get involved. We always were a tad eccentric but life in good ol' Blighty gets more like Monty Python every day. I couldn't even hazard a guess about what crazy ideas some bright spark will come up with next.

Not that it affects me much as nobody could recognise the tune I'm playing anyway. I could always say it was my own composition & then they would have to pay me for playing it to them. Grin

Don't forget, you heard it here first. Stay tuned for the latest developments in crazy Britain. Cheesy

Ok, I've just patented the following notes... do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and si... Now I'll just sit down and watch the pounds collecting on my account! Grin

Your guess is as good as mine Paul. From what I can make out the rest of 'em are even sillier than we are. Roll Eyes

PS. Know any uninhabited islands? Preferably with a mild climate.
