One must have much sympathy with the group of Croydon house holders who summoned a neighbour: for keeping his wireless running for 10 hours without interruption. "One of them testified that he had origin" ally "given the man. a wireless apparatus catalogue. "It. was the worst day's work T ever did." he said. He very soon bought a. wireless set and this is the result. The magistrate fined the culprit £1 which seems very little, and wished that he could order the set to be confiscated, The nuisance that radio can be and often is in England is indeseribable. The odd thing about itis its penetrating quality and the distance it will carry. There was a coltager several hundred yards from us, who kept her radio going all day, so that It "became. intolerable to sit in the garden. "Another family not far from Us regularly turns on the radio after dinner and then sits down to. read. Half the time these radio fans do not listen, they merely desire a continuous band. What puzzles where the B.B.C. picks up these bands which grind out" jazz musie all the day and half the night. I~ hope Croydon will have some rest now.
