Be that as it may, I told Max Bavin about this illegal regulation and that I 
was ignoring it. He agreed that this was, at the very least, acceptable. It 
is fundamental to jurisprudence that you can't make a regulation contrary to 
Law.  I've sometimes wondered, when next I go to court to protest a parking 
ticket, that I should ask the beak "When was Magna Carta repealed?" cheers

It intrigues me that John and Tim again 

[A] Disagree with an EBU regulation.
[B] Disobey it.
[C] Refuse to enforce it.
[D] Have official approval for all this from the highest authority.
    (but the regulation still remains in place for hoi polloi).
[E] Have gone on public record to tell us about it.

In almost any other field of legislation, if law-enforcers behaved this way and failed to overturn such legislation, they would resign or be sacked :(

Only in the surreal world of Bridge Rules does all this make moral sense :)
