Question

Why didnot you tell me so before ​

Answer 1

Don’t upset your local licensing officer.

It takes a certain kind of person to be a licensing officer, the type of person who wears tan socks with black trousers or writes to his MP if his wife gives him the wrong veg on a Sunday. These are the people who can make your life hell at the drop of a hat so brass them off by all means, but make sure you’re about to retire, move abroad, or preferably both before doing so.
