Music banned at Cleethorpes hair salon

“MrAudi,

Thank you. Thank you very much for confirming my long-standing, lazy, preconceptions about Audi drivers.

In memory of Arthur, account suspended.”

“It's a shame one of "the country's top judges" doesn't read moneysavingexpert forum's. Moneysavingexpect provides some excellent advice, trouble is the forum contributors are just ordinary people, like you and me. Their opinion isn't however treated as the law just yet. Those power mad blokes with the funny wigs still think they've got the final say.”

“HallyT - if that is the case, then why did this end up in court?”

“This sounds a lot like PRS performing rights society...YOU DO NOT repeat NOT have to pay them..WHY? because they give no CONTRACT ..they have no contract they issue no contract they just rely on people being like 'moronic masses' sheep no brains or listening to someone who says you've got to cos their aunty f - a -n ny's butcher did...Don't pay it you have been served no contract you have signed no contract you don't have to pay it pretty soon their 'pretend' bailiff letters will stop and other such threatening letters too, if you are strong enough to just ride it out...just look on these forums, 'money saving expert' and click on forums them put in to the search PRS or performing rights society...the same for the website 'consumer action group'....its a bit like them parking companies who try to make you pay, such as the one at mc donalds at meridian park ....if people don't fight it then they just carry on doing it to people..with those who should know better turning a blind eye..”

“MrAudiA5 - you come across as a typical bar room bore,I've been here I've been there.I've done that,I'm worldly wise.Perhaps in reallity you are just Mr Renault Clio.
Interzone - carry on,”

“I'd hardly call pointing out the facts arguing, but still have it your way.

It must be difficult living with such a huge brain, having to put up with knowing everything, whilst the rest of us know nothing.

It must have been an engaging conversation for the barber in Jo'burg when you asked him about royalties. Still you'd be able to reassure him it was just part of your quest to know everything about everything, because that's part of being well travelled.

I suggest if you don't like the way things are done in the UK, next time you go on one of your extensive work related journey's round the world, don't bother coming back.”

“Two things, Wrangler. Firstly, the cost of buying an album is much cheaper than it used to be. In the late 80s you would pay (for a charting album) £7.99 for a vinyl album or £9.99 for a CD. Now you are looking at £7 - £9 for a CD and slightly cheaper for download version. Adjusted for inflation a CD should be costing £20 today. Obviously you have to take into account the reduction in the cost of technology, but you also have to take into account the increase in labour and other associated costs. So in reality the cost of music has reduced.

Secondly, due to technological advances, it is much easier to make copies. Most homes have the technology within to copy and distribute music and films illegally very easily. Even if an album cost 50p there would be an awful lot of people who would choose to download it illegally for free if possible. So in reality I don't think that the cause of digital copyright theft is based on ideology or cost, it's because it's easy.”

“Listen Interzone,
You love to argue don't you, so as you probably don't get out much or are not allowed, here's the scoop.
I have travelled on every continent on this ball, working in a vast amount of different countries and have lived in many cultures and let me tell you that nowhere else on this rock bothers anyone listening to music whilst cropping someones hair, not even in Iran and we thing that they are oppressed. Everywhere else just does not give it a second thought. If I mentioned what you've been going on about in Hong Kong they would just look at me gone out the probably just laugh at me. In Joberg they would just agree with me to keep me happy, are you starting to get the drift.
Now as you like to argue and believe me, I sussed you out straight away (it come from being well travelled) I will let you get the last word in, becaused I'm like that so don't worry and I will not answer you again, in fact I won't even click on this story again OK.
My advise is go and book a holiday abroad somewhere, Spain's nice. Oh and by the way don't be surprised if you go in a bar and everyone's smoking even though there's an indoor smoking ban just like us, because that's whats happening all over Europe.
I leave people like you to yourselves because you cannot think for yourselves and do exactly what your told.
My Dad was right, you cannot educate pork.

PS. The 2 Danish guy I'm working with think your a FUD hahahahahaha and they listen to music whilst having their wigs chopped.”

“Calypso, dont get me wrong, I no socialist, if people work hard or are talented then they deserve to be rewarded.

But with a finite pool of money in the UK, I'm not sure how with a better / fairer distribution and those at the bottom of the pyramid (who are also working very hard for minimum wage) would not benefit - isn't that just basic mathematics (or am I missing something JO?)

Current average pay ratio is 262:1 compared to 36:1 on 1980 and this is increasing year on year.

Are big bosses 8 times better now? or are minimum wage worker 8 time more lazy now? I just think the government should mandate a ratio of say 100:1 and the total remuneration budget would be then split more evenly, giveing people a living wage rather than a minimum wage.

What is so wrong about wishing a better life for the hard working people who actually make the country function at the coal face?”
