As you can see,it's as easy to get as a dog licence...


What is a dog license?

A bit like your TV licence,in that it has four legs and produces a lot of crap...


I asked at the post office and they said there is no such thing as a dog license anymore!

The dog licence was scrapped a few years ago, because it cost more to collect than it made.

I believe the cost was 37.5p before it was scrapped.

That's right.
It cost 7/6 when it first came out and was never increased.
Seems no government wanted to upset dog owners by increasing the cost :lol:

Sorry I was confused...
Not dog licence but marriage licence.
Easy mistake to make...

The latest edition of TAXI is now out.

Thanks to the LTDA's video and efforts, three of the night clubs 'satellite' Minicab licenses have now been revoked.

Result. \:D/
