Yes, thank goodness for Ken Bruce, and Jeremy Vine, but they don't go as far as playing some of the favourites I've mentioned in this topic - still a step too far for the BBC.

I remember Jeremy Vine decided to play the Who's "Who Are You" on his lunchtime show. He didn't play the official BBC version. Instead he played the commercially released version he'd brought in from home (his words). There is a difference... the commercially released version features "the four letter word" twice!

Obviously this being several hours before the nine o'clock watershed, I expected some kind of apologetic comment, but there was none. Must I have been the only one listening?!

Since then the radio set in the workshop has been banned. The PRS sent me an invoice for receiving broadcast music in the workplace. It is perfectly OK me playing records in the workshop for R&D purposes and even to customers who pop in, without needing a performing rights license, but listening to my radio isn't allowed! They said it was OK to listen to exactly the same broadcasts via the internet though. But for me that isn't the same. Funny country
