Fake TV burglar deterrent

Note that that section is "Prospective" read the "Status" box at the top of the page. ICBA'd to unpick the several pages of links to amendments that may or may not have been applied to the text of the Act that is shown.

And ICBA'd to follow the trail from:

"(6)The Secretary of State may by regulations exempt from the requirement of a licence under subsection (1) the installation or use of television receivers-

(a)of such descriptions, (b)by such persons, (c)in such circumstances, and (d)for such purposes,

as may be provided for in the regulations."

And the double speak of:

"(7)Regulations under subsection (6) may make any exemption for which such regulations provide subject to compliance with such conditions as may be specified in the regulations."

As is quite common an Act may say one thing but it may well be "amended" by other regulations, schedules etc that the Act refers to. Principly because it's easier to change regulations, schedules etc than the Act itself.

No, sensible people without serious worries like cancer don't worry about anything. These people are usually quite happy folk.

[tony sayer]

Humm ... I'm a bit worried about you worrying Bill;!....

Group hug?

[ARW]

I see. But a real TV amuses the cat/dog/parrot more.

So that is where Channel 5 gets it viewing figure from?

[Tough Guy no. 1265]

Viewing figures are from surveys and aren't actually real. They're extr= apolated. They can't tell what channel you have on. Except for Sky if = you're dumb enough to connect the phone line like it tells you to.

Just a second. I don't know about your house, but most houses I see you= can actually see the TV screen or a reflection of it. A fake TV doesn'= t make a picture.

It isn't a case of being sensible, it's more to do with innate temperament. But yes, there are such people. Not as many as you might think because most worriers hide the fact that they are worried, since worrying is seen as a weakness.

[Chris French]

Quite, my wife is a worrier, whereas I worry about things a lot less. No point in telling her not to worry, as she just can't.

She is also very much a 'the glass is lying empty on the floor' kind of girl, whilst I'm normally pretty full. I dont' know if these tendencies are related.

[F Murtz]

May be for you, but I used to do a bit of handymaning and have seen many houses and units and it is not at all unusual.
