One Thing about Regulation

One thing about regulation and licensing is that they sometimes induce phenomenal creativity on the part of those being regulated. For example, in Wales, individuals are supposed to pay a license fee for their television sets. As you might expect, some people try to evade the licence fee. Here are two of the creative excuses/alibis/explanations they offered when the inspectors came to their homes.

1. "No, that's not a TV you can hear in the background, it's a tape of adverts I play to entertain the children"

2. "The TV is to keep the cat warm - we don't watch it"
