I was talking to our village shopkeeper the other day. He had received a phone call asking him if he played the radio in the shop while he was working!
Now I know we country folk don't have much of a social scene- but we don't all pile into the shop to listen to his radio!He is not benefitting in any monetary way by listening to his radio while he sits on his own waiting for someone to need a loaf of bread.
Sheer bureaucracy gone mad.
