Thank you

    I don't know the answer to this but aren't there some rules about playing music in a workplace? Don't they need a PRS licence or something? This includes the radio as well.

    Yes, if you use a radio at work, then you need a licence. If they aren't licensed I would say no!

    Thank you, yes they need a PPR license which they don't hold so I agree to disallow

    What about if a sole-trader buys a radio to use when they are working alone on a site?
    PRS licenses are for music in the work place, lone workers are excluded from this.

    Not really a "business only" expense though. Unless of course it is one with a Dewalt battery charger built-in!!!

    And he's not kidding either. If the link has worked I presume you mean one like this -

    The last radio I let my builder boyfriend have would never have got used ANYwhere off of site as within a day it had dust over it, by the end of the job it was dust, plaster, paint, mastic and a fair amount of mud and water.........
    But he doesn't get to have an expensive radio

    The one Jan has given a link to is a battery charger with the added feature of a DAB radio. And I doubt many people would want that in their lounge! but I guess we are all different.
