Default BBC INFORMATION - AN INVITATION TO A CHEESE AND WINE EVENING

Cheese and wine will be available between 5pm and 8pm
Do they have an alcohol licence?


Eh? I don't get it.


They spend their time sending threatening letters to individuals who
don't have a TV licence. Seems to me that if they're flogging wine,
they should be checked out for an alcohol licence.


OK . . . except that they would presumably be giving away the wine
rather than selling it[1], otherwise they'd just open the enormous and
well-stocked bar, and even then the licence would be a matter for the
CCA rather than Capita. Still, all anti-Crapita jokes are good, even
if like so many outsourcing projects they don't quite work. ;-]

[1] That is, if this invite were genuine, which it clearly isn't.
