Recent newspaper reports about revamping the TV licence fine system spoke of X number of reminders then a court summons. No mention of an inspection. Possession of a TV set is assumed. Guilty until proven innocent? Sam ~ I might train it to do the can-can. You can train plants as I understand it and this one is a creeper so is very suited for training. Gayé ~ I do some outdoors plant watching too, but that's not advisable on cold winter nights. Just thought - wow, lucky you! Now you're in recently arrived in Oz you'll get lots of blank stares e.g. Asking for Tayto in the pub.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5339','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Aonghus ~ It could actually be illegal.
