Does anyone know how the licensing thing works?

It says A6 but what is that?

I seem to remember that there was a whole thread on this several years ago if you do a search.

Ah the good old days of having to pay for a radio licence, I wouldn’t spit on em if they were on fire these days, all rubbish, and I don’t listen to anything other than radio 4 and Caroline anyway

Wasn't the royalty represented by that label something paid by the manufacturer and completely separate from the radio/television licence paid by the user?

Yes, we've been here before and at some length. There's no connection to the domestic licence fee.
