Subject: BS: UK Radios Scrapped?
In case you haven't heard, the Digital Britain Report - from those fine folks who gave you the Licensing Act - proposes that we make analogue radios more or less obsolete by (they hope) 2015.
Driven by the best motives in advancing the UK into a fully digital society, the proposals would make all our present car radios & portables pretty nigh useless except for local FM (and French Long Wave).

If you agree, fine. If not, now's the time to get cracking, write to your MP, put your heads over the parapet & yell!
