Everything I've heard about that, Pete is that free downloads will be restricted to the UK. i.e. if you're not paying for a TV license, then you're SOL.

I went to the library today, and got prizes: A. a cinnamon scented candle in a tin bearing the legend "Hot Reads For Cold Nights" and 2. a book entitled The Oregon Trail: An American Saga by David Dary.

I like history, and this is a bit of history I'm not already inundated with books on.
Or say "spotted dick" without laughing
