Why I Love/Hate BritainThis week's been all about the Daily Mail and why people love or hate their country. Tell us one thing you hate about Britain, and one thing about why you love it.
This shouldn't be an excuse for RACISTLOLS, or long lists of things you dislike. Be intelligent, be funny, and be interesting

The TV licenseIn South Africa they have a few SABC channels which are ostensibly licence funded after the BBC model. Perplexingly, however, they run just as many ads as the purely commercial channels. The licence is in theory mandatory but their enforcement budget doesn't go any further than very earnest adverts saying, "pay your TV licence - it's the right thing to do". I found pretty much every aspect of this quite hard to understand.

Try JapanWhere apparently just owning a Sat Nav is enough by law now to pay NHK's licence fee.
